Controversy at Table 360

Level 10

Details are on the way, but Abe Mosseri, Shaun Deeb, and Nikolai Yakovenko are involved in a Pot-Limit Omaha pot that is full of drama and controversy. It's been going on for about 10 minutes and a resolution to whatever the situation is hasn't been reached as of yet.

We'll have full details for you as soon as it wraps up, and it looks like it could be a while!

Eslami Takes Some From Blom

Pot-Limit Omaha

Viktor Blom was near the top of the standings a few hours ago, but he just lost a pot to Ali Eslami knocking him down to under twice the starting stack.

Blom raised from late-position and Eslami made the call from the button. The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and both players checked.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}, and Blom bet 12,600. Eslami made the call, and the river was the {3-Spades}. Blom fired out 26,000 this time, and Eslami called him right away. Blom mucked his cards, and Eslami showed {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for top two pair to take down the pot.
