The second event of the 2021 bestbet Jacksonville Spring Series was of the four-card poker variety. Event #2: $360 Pot-Limit Omaha attracted a field of 112 entries and created a prize pool of $34,160.
The top 14 players got paid, and all six who cashed but fell short of the final table were from out of state. Floridians then accounted for half of the final eight, but two of them in Fakhouri Jamil and Hyndi Khomutetsky were the first two to fall once the final table was reached.
A trio of South Carolinians in Andreas Wolfram, James Stuart, and James Hucks all busted thereafter, halving the field before Robert Satterfield went out in third. The two remaining Floridians in Jacksonville's Tammer Ilcaffas and Armando Figueroa of Lutz then played heads up for the top prize of $9,339 with Figueroa being the one to claim victory.

Over 200,000 was already in the middle on a board reading 
with heads-up action between Jermaine Gerlin in the big blind and Brian Arbaugh, who was in middle position.
Gerlin had checked and was in the process of putting out a stack of 5,000-chips to match Arbaugh's bet of 100,000. The river came 
and Gerlin checked again.
"All in," announced Arbaugh, putting chips forward along with it. Gerlin then found himself put to a decision for his remaining 215,000 as Arbaugh covered. After a little over a minute in the tank, Gerlin released his cards forward.
"Nice hand," said Gerlin. Arbaugh thanked him and collected the pot, and he now has close to 700,000. Paul Petraglia also appears to have doubled recently and has a stack of 285,000 of his own.

Action folded to Jared Penney in the small blind and he opened to 17,000. James Calderaro three-bet to 38,000 in the big blind and Penney called.
The flop came 
and Penney bet 25,000. Calderaro jammed on him and Penney called.
"Oh, you must have two tens," said Calderaro. Penney said he did, turning over 
. It needed to improve against Calderaro's 
and failed to do so on the runout 
, picking up a backdoor gutter on the turn that failed to complete to bring about his elimination at the expense of "Caldo".

On the second hand of hand-for-hand play two all-in preflop scenarios ensued at adjacent tables with Fililpp Khavin and Aaron Thivyanathan at risk for their tournament lives.
Khavin got his stack in from the small blind with a chance to triple as Nick Raio in the big blind and Kobzyev Kyrylo on the button continued for the side pot. Raio bet 13,000 on the flop 
and Kyrylo called. Both players checked the turn 
and the river came , where Raio check-called 37,000 from Kyrylo.
Filipp Khavin: 
Kobzyev Kyrylo: 
Raio's hand was briefly exposed before it was mucked with Kyrylo eliminating Khavin as the other table's runout was now ready to go.
Aaron Thivyanathan: 
Brian Arbaugh: 
The flop came 
, with and 
falling behind. Thivyanathan had no diamond and lost the coin flip to result in his elimination as well. Since the two busted on the same hand, they will split 51st place's prize of $3,962, giving each a rebate of $1,981.
