Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Clint Wolcyn opened to 120,000 from the small blind and Brayden Gazlay called from the big blind.

The flop came A♠Q♠9♦. Wolcyn fired an 80,000 continuation bet only for Gazlay to raise to 300,000. Wolcyn made the call.

On the 6♥ turn Wolcyn checked and Gazlay bet 800,000. Wolcyn moved all in for about 1,350,000 and Gazlay quickly called with a covering stack to put Wolcyn at risk.

Clint Wolcyn: A♥K♦5♦3♥ All in
Brayden Gazlay: A♦Q♣9♠4♥

Gazlay was ahead with top two pair but Wolcyn still had outs to either half the pot if he completed his low draw or the entire pot if he spiked a king. His deep run came to an end in sixth place after finding no help on the 9♣ river while Gazlay dragged in a pot worth over 3,000,000.
