Masafumi Iijima

Omaha Hi-Lo

Masafumi Iijima was all-in for just 455,000 preflop against Nicholas Julia and in need of help.

Masafumi Iijima: K?7?4?3? All in
Nicholas Julia: A?Q?J?5?

The board ran out K?8?8?9?J? and Iijima doubled.

Yuri Dzivielevski then limped the small blind and Julia raised from the big blind. On the A?8?4? flop, Dzivielevski check-called a bet and did so again on the 5? turn. After the 4? river, Dzivielevski checked once more and Julia bet. This time, no call followed and Julia won the pot.

Last but not least, Julia raised the small blind and Iijima called in the big blind with just 275,000 behind. Julia checked on a flop of K?10?9? before folding to the all-in of Iijima.

Julia Misreads Hand to Dzivielevski's Benefit

Level 31

Omaha Hi-Lo

Nicholas Julia raised from the button and Yuri Dzivielevski defended the big blind.

On the A?K?J? flop, Dzivielevski check-called a bet from Julia.

The turn was the 9? and the action checked through.

The river brought the repeat 9? and Dzivielevski led with a bet which Julia "just called".

Dzivielevski revealed A?J?9?8? for nines full of aces. Julia tabled his hand as he believed that he had jacks full. However, he actually had A?J?10?8? and he ceded the pot to Dzivielevski.

Level 31

2-7 Triple Draw

Nicholas Julia raised from the small blind, Masafumi Iijima three-bet from the big blind, Julia made it four bets, and Iijima called all-in for 920,000.
