Livello 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Eran Carmi raised preflop to 900,000 from the small blind, with David Simon defending his big blind.

The flop came 10♥J♣7♣. Carmi bet the pot, pushing forward 2,100,000. Simon raised to put Carmi all in, and Carmi obliged with his last 1,625,000.

Eran Carmi: A♥K♦J♠4♦
David Simon: 9♠8♦7♦2♥

Simon flopped a jack-high straight, but a queen would give Carmi Broadway. Carmi found no help on the 3♠ turn, and the 5♥ river ended his day. Carmi's fourth-place finish nets him over $130,000.
