Pot-Limit Omaha

There were four players in a pot with the flop reading {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. What happened after was a true chip storm.

Action was checked to hijack Mike Leah, who bet 37,500. Ivo Donev moved all in for his 78,500 from the button. Next to act was Harry Madoff, who paused for a moment before saying, "I'm all in or whatever I'm allowed." He moved his 252,500 in.

"One time, please," shouted Donev, but the action hadn't been closed yet.

Big blind Justin Bonomo seemed to be interested in joining the party. He asked how much Madoff's all-in was, then turned to Leah, asking about his remaining stack. After more than a minute, Bonomo decided to escape the shoving festival and laid his hand down.

"I'm all in," Leah instantly said, and so the three sets of hole cards were turned up.

Ivo Donev: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Harry Madoff: {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Mike Leah: {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

"I have the nut-flush draw and a pair," Leah said, while Donev had already been whispering in reporters' ears that he had the nuts. Madoff had a wrap in addition to his middle pair.

The {10-Clubs} turn was the best possible card for Donev, improving his hand to quads and securing him a triple-up right there. The {7-Spades} bricked Leah's outs, leaving Madoff with the hefty side pot.

Madoff asked Leah for 174,000. "I'm sorry, I can't pay you," Leah replied with a smile, having double-checked his remaining stack. Madoff had him covered by roughly 20,000, and Leah departed from the Poker Players Championship.
