Sands Sacks Weisner With Flush On River
David Sands raised to 3,700 before the flop from early position and Melanie Weisner three-bet the pot, making it 11,900 to go. After a bit of confusion over the size of the initial pot, which was cleared up by a third player who stated "In Pot-Limit Omaha, the players are always right when it comes to chip counts." After the correct calculations were made, Sands called and the pot swelled to 23,800 total.
Flop:
Weisner continued her aggressive line and slid 20,000 into the middle, but was unhappy to hear Sands announce "Pot...all-in." She appeared to know this meant trouble but made the call with her for a pair of aces. Sands revealed the for top pair on board and an ace kicker.
Weisner was ahead at the moment but in Omaha, the next card can change everything. The turn fell and Sands picked up a flush draw, meaning he could now spike any diamond, king, queen, jack or seven to claim the pot.
River:
The dealer delivered on both accounts, completing Sand's flush and giving him the huge pot. He now sits with just under 100,000 while Weisner was eliminated from the tournament.
