Pot-Limit Omaha is a very fast paced game, and Belgian player Lieven Ketels just showed that it's easy to get your money in. Jennifer Tilly raised under the gun to 150 after which Ketels called under the gun plus two.
The player in the cutoff three-bet to 800, and Konstantin Puchkov called from the button. The action was folded back to Tilly who put in the call. Ketels took his time before announcing a pot-size re-raise.
The total raise was 4,125 and the three-bettor called. Puchkov hesitated, but eventually folded. As did Tilly. The flop brought out 
and Ketels moved all in for 9,200. His opponent sighed, and folded within five seconds.
Ketels is up to 19,000 chips and doing well early on.
