Jackpots sometimes come in a rush, and today’s Omaha BBJ was a prime example. After the big prizes on Wednesday, the Jackpot was reset – but even so, players will be pretty happy about the payouts from today’s Jackpot win.
The play occurred on lucky table 13, which had 7 players active. It was a $2/$5 table and there was as straddle to $10 from the player in Seat 6. The preflop action started with a fold, a limp ($10) and another fold, and then Will, playing the sb from seat 4, raised to $50. His neighbour Ariel in the bb re-popped to $155 and chased the rest of the players out of the hand, while Will made the call.
The flop came 
and action was on Will, who opened with a raise to $250. Ariel shoved over the top and got the call.
Will: 
Ariel: 
Both players had good hands… but great draws. The 
on the turn and 
on the river was the best-case scenario! Straight Flush to the Queen for Will and a Royal Flush for Ariel. The players also chose to run the board a second time (which doesn’t count for the Jackpot but doesn’t work against it either), and the players ended up chopping the pot.
Will stands to receive $2,609 as the Jackpot winner, Ariel wins $1,304 as the winner of the hand. The other 5 players at table 13 will each win $261, while the players at the other PLO table in action at the time will each win $189.
Congrats to everyone!
