Lisandro Wins Back-to-Back Pots
In the first hand the button-player raised it up to 20,000, and after the small-blind player made the call Jeff Lisandro three-bet to 80,000. After both players quickly mucked their hands Lisandro said "Now we're playing Omaha, boys," and sent his cards to the muck.
In the second hand the button-player made it 16,000 to go and was called by Lisandro from his small blind and George Abdallah from his big blind.
After all three players checked the flop, Lisandro led out for 35,000 on the turn, which was met with a shove from Abdallah. The button-player folded, and with action back on Lisandro he asked how much more it was to call. The dealer confirmed 43,000 more and Lisandro made the call, saying to Abdallah that he knows he has the straight.
George Abdallah:
Jeff Lisandro:
Lisandro was correct, Abdallah had turned the higher straight, but Lisandro still had outs to the king-high flush. The on the river was one of those outs and Abdallah was eliminated from the tournament.
