Cya Sointula

Level 4

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jani Sointula led out for 5,500 with the board reading {5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Yan Chen raised to 15,500, Sointula re-raised to 38,500, and Chen moved all in. Sointula called.

Sointula: {10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Chen: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Chen's flopped full house had Sointula in bad shape, and he couldn't make a bigger boat in the turn ({4-Spades}) or the river ({7-Hearts}), eliminating him from the tournament.
