Baron Plummets

One pair is not a strong hand in PLO. It wins once in a while, but it's a hand you'd rather not take to showdown. Ask Isaac Baron.

On a flop of {K-Diamonds}

, Baron (with position) called a 24,000-chip bet from Cliff Josephy. Josephy fired again for 64,000 when the turn fell {7-Clubs}

. Again Baron called.

The river was the {J-Clubs}

. Josephy finally slowed with a check and watched as Baron pushed 140,000 chips into the middle. It was a huge bet that sent Josephy into the tank. He finally called and heard Baron utter these words:

"One pair."

Josephy opened his own hand, {K-Hearts}
