Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Zhen Cai limped in as Joey Couden came along in the small blind and Shaun Deeb checked his option.

Couden led out for 1,000,000 on the 10♥ turn and Cai tanked for about a minute before he cut out the chips to call and slid them into the middle.

The river came the 7♦ and Couden quickly checked. Cai spent another few moments tanking before he tapped a chip on the felt.

Couden opened up K♠9♦5♦2♣ for a flush and a low and Cai mucked, claiming he had Jx7x.

"Raj is the best all-in player. Sucks postflop," Deeb added.

"I didn't want to bust you. You're the player I want to go heads-up with," Couden said to Vohra.

A few hands later, Zhen Cai bet 400,000 on a flop of 5♥10♠6♣, then called when Vohra again moved all in.
