Francort Rivers a Miracle to Bust Lopes and Loeser
Javier Francort limped from middle position before Lucas Lopes raised to 25,000 from the cutoff. Manig Loeser three-bet out of the small blind to 110,000, which Francort called. Lopes four-bet jammed for 290,000, prompting Loeser to shove himself for around 410,000. Francort, with slightly more chips than Loeser, called with the chance to bust two players.
Lucas Lopes: K♠K♣9♥9♦ 
Manig Loeser: A♠A♦5♠3♥
Javier Francort: A♣J♥10♣7♦
Loeser held aces, Lopes had kings, and Francort had four cards. The J♠Q♥Q♠ flop was great for Loeser as he picked up a flush draw to go with his aces. The 6♦ turn was safe for Loeser but the J♦ dropped on the river to give Francort the best hand with trip jacks.
Lopes and Loeser headed to the rail, while Francort shouted, "I am still the best PLO player!" and dragged in the pot over over a million.
