Ankenman on the Ascent

Omaha/8

The advantage has begun to swing Jerrod Ankenman's way during this Omaha/8 round. He just took a sizable pot worth several big bets after the board came {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and he turned over {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{A-Clubs} for eights full.

On a subsequent hand, Ankenman limped in and Sergey Altbregin checked. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, Altbregin bet, and Ankenman called. The turn brought the {2-Hearts}, and again Ankenman called Altbregin's bet.

The river was the {3-Spades}, and once more Altbregin bet and Ankenman called. Altbregin showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for tens and treys, but Ankenman had {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for tens and sixes.

Ankenman is up to 1.78 million now, while Altibregin has 1.31 million.
