Awesome poker!

The action in online casino rooms is getting crazier and crazier. In an attempt to still their hunger for action Durrrr (Tom Dwan) and Ziigmund (Ilari Sahamies) gave their own twist to PLO: instead of playing the normal game at the $500/1,000 tables they both agreed to raise and reraise every single pot, both committing $9,000 before the flop comes down. Ofcourse this results in some massive pots, including the largest online pot-limit omaha pot ever, worth $703,000!

This is what happened:

After Dwan made the compulsory opening raise to $3,000 and Sahamies put in his required reraise to $9,000, Dwan pushed the action with a four-bet to $27,000. Sahamies called and they saw a flop of {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Both players checked and the {7-Diamonds} landed on the turn. Sahamies led out for $54,000, Dwan raised to $216,000, and Sahamies moved in for his entire $324,463 stack. Dwan called, having him covered, and showed {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a queen-high flush draw, a gutshot straight draw, and a pair of tens. Sahamies was a 3-to-1 favorite, however, with {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a jack-high straight and two pair. The river improved Sahamies’ hand further, falling the {J-Clubs} to make him jacks full of sevens, good for the nearly $703,000 pot.

And something’s telling me that this isn’t the end of the high stakes madness.

At the Aussie Millions 2009 cash game Dwan and Antonius played some mixed NLHE and PLO heads-up, with as much as 2,5 million dollars on the table.

This results in some very interesting poker. Check it out!
