Pot-Limit Omaha

Erik Cajelais raised 600 in early position and was called by the hijack, cutoff, button and big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♠6♠3♣ and once the big blind checked, Cajelais continued for 2,000. Only the button made the call.

When the J♦ hit the turn, Cajelais announced a pot-sized bet of 9,300 and the button called once again.

The 10♦ completed the board on the river and Cajelais jammed for his remaining 7,600. His opponent wasted no time tossing his cards into the muck.

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Frank Harrington, who also goes by the nickname, "Skullman," raised to 500 from early position and was called by a player in middle position and both players in the blinds.

Harrington put out a pot-sized bet of 2,100 on Q♣K♣10♠ and was called only by the player in middle position.

Harrington then committed his remaining chips on the 9♥ turn and was called.

Frank Harrington: Q♥Q♦4♣2♦
Middle Position: J♥9♦9♣6♠

Harrington was behind the flopped straight of the middle position player, but would get the help he needed on the board-pairing K♠ river, winning the hand with a full-house, queens full of kings.
