Pot-Limit Omaha

Jerry Wong opened under the gun with a raise to 4,000. Ryan Hughes called from the cutoff before Jason Mercier made it 18,400 to play from the button. Wong called, then Hughes called, as well.

The flop came down {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and Wong announced, "Pot," after thinking about it for a few seconds. The bet was 58,600. Hughes got out of the way quickly. Mercier flicked through his cards, then moved all in. Wong called, and the cards were flipped up.

Wong: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Mercier: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Spades}

The {10-Hearts} on the turn sealed Mercier's fate, giving Wong an unbeatable flush. The river was the {5-Spades}, but it didn't matter. Mercier was eliminated from the tournament in 20th place and collected $4,553 for his run in Event #59.
