We witnessed a three-way hand in which Joseph Felder and an unknown opponent were all-in before the flop against Dmitry Motorov. The unknown opponent proudly revealed his 
for pocket aces, and while that is the best starting hand in Hold'em, it is not nearly as strong in the draw-heavy game Omaha.
Felder flipped up the 
for a suited connector and a slew of low cards, while Motorov showed down his 
for a similar hand that held plenty of preflop potential.
Flop: 
The unknown opponent had survied the flop with his pocket rockets and began hollering "Keep 'em high dealer, keep 'em high!" While the aces were still in the lead, Motorov had flopped a pair of sixes and a variety of draws. The Russian now needed to catch any deuce or seven to complete his straight, or any four, five, six, or ten to crack his opponent's aces.
The dealer delivered a dagger on the turn in the form of a 
and Motorov had made his straight. Felder had a slim chance now, needing a four to arrive on the river to chop the pot with Motorov. The man holding bullets was drawing dead at this point and turned to depart the Amazon Room.
River: 
Motorov pumped his fist in triumph after notching the double knockout and he now holds a stack of nearly 160,000 chips.
