Nível 1

Pot-Limit Omaha

Eli Elezra raised on the button to 5,000 and got a call from Justin Liberto in the big blind.

On the 3♦J♣4♠ flop, the players each checked to see the 6♥ on the turn.

Liberto began stacking chips for a bet, which was enough for Elezra, who immediately tossed his cards to the muck.

Glantz Gets to Showdown

Nível 1

Pot Limit Omaha

There is a late position open from Matt Glantz to 4,000. Action then folded to Will Wilkinson in the small blind who made the call and the big blind folded.

The K♦6♣J♦ board hit the felt and Wilkinson opted to lead for 9,000. Glantz made the call.

The 4♣ turn landed and Wilkinson again led for 16,000. Glantz stuck around and called once more.

The 9♥ river landed and now Wilkinson went into the tank for a moment before checking. Glantz quickly checked behind and showed J♠9♠6♦4♦. He seemed to be after diamonds but backed into two pair.

Wilkinson took a second look at his hand and mucked. Glantz scooped a nice one early after sticking around on some big bets.

"Threat Detected": Defending Champion Wounded Early

connorrichards

Nível 1

Pot-Limit Omaha

Two-time defending champion Dan "Jungleman" Cates took an early hit in a Pot-Limit Omaha hand against Scott Seiver on a board of 2♣8♦9♠3♥.

Seiver had already committed 28,000 on the turn and faced a raise from Cates to 115,000 who sat still behind his Terminator sunglasses. Eventually, Seiver announced all in before pushing out his starting stack and casually conversing with Josh Arieh.

"It's 100 big blinds," shrugged Seiver as Cates sat still before eventually sliding his cards into the muck.

"Damage," Cates said in a monotone voice. "Threat detected. New target acquired."

"Are you the threat? You did this to yourself," replied Seiver.

Cates won't get the chance to terminate his newly acquired target as he was moved to a new table shortly after the hand.
