Shchemelev Hits 200K

Level 3

Pot-Limit Omaha

Michael Mizrachi called under the gun and Roman Yitzhaki did the same from middle position. Bryn Kenney raised to 2,000 from the cutoff and was called by Vladimir Shchemelev (button), Josh Arieh (small blind), and the two limpers.

The flop fell {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and action checked to Shchemelev. He bet 10,000 and was called by only Arieh. The {8-Hearts} hit the turn and Arieh checked again. Shchemelev fired 30,000, once again getting called by Arieh. The {9-Hearts} river put a third heart on the board and slowed each down with a check.

Arieh tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{X-}{X-}, while Shchemelev showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} for the better set to win the pot.

Shchemelev is up to 200,000, while Arieh drops to about 102,000.
