Another Boat for Bartoletti

Paul Tedeschi completed and was called by Andres Korn and Ivo Bartoletti.

Paul Tedeschi: XxXx / 4?K?10?A? - folded on sixth street
Andres Korn: XxXx / 8?10?A?J? / Xx
Ivo Bartoletti: Q?4?2? / 5?5?Q?5?

Bartoletti led on fourth and both players called. The action checked to Korn on fifth and both called.

On sixth, Bartoletti led after he made open trips and only Korn called. The action checked through on seventh. Bartoletti revealed his full house which was good for the scoop as Korn did not make a low.

Pot-Limit Omaha

The 8?2?K? flop was checked through before Watson fired 7,600 on the A? turn. Derwiche called to the Q? river, where Watson took a few moments before jamming all in for 19,500.
