"The Master" Has to Share Wheels

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

After Russell Bouffiou limped in middle position, Men Nguyen raised the size of the pot (1,800) from the hijack. Perry Friedman then called from the big blind and Boffiou called as well.

On the {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, Friedman and Bouffiou checked and Nguyen bet pot (6,000). Friedman folded, but Bouffiou re-potted, then Nguyen potted again to put Bouffiou all in for roughly 28,000. He called to put himself at risk.

Russell Bouffiou: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}
Men Nguyen: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Each player had wheel draws, but Nguyen had control of the high half of the pot with his aces.

The turn {10-Clubs} gave Nguyen the potential for a scoop, but the {5-Hearts} on the river gave each player their wheel, chopping up the pot just before break.
