Dzivielevski Doubles Twice to Take the Lead
Pot-Limit Omaha
The final two hands in PLO provide fireworks and provide as many all-ins.
Nicholas Julia raised to 400,000 on the button and Yuri Dzivielevski called from the big blind. They checked the K?3?3? flop before Dzivielevski check-called 400,000 on the 10? turn. Dzivielevski check-called all-in after the 8? river and doubled for 995,000 with K?J?10?3? for treys full of kings, as Julia only had A?A?10?8? for aces up.
Dzivielevski then potted to 480,000 on the button and Julia repotted to receive a call. Following the J?10?4? flop, Dzivielevski jammed and Julia called.
Yuri Dzivielevski: 10?10?9?8? 
Nicholas Julia: 9?8?6?5?
"I am dead ... well, I have back doors," Julia told his rail. Dzivielevski was ahead with his set and it remained that way on the K? turn and Q? river.
Initially, they thought it was a split pot before they realised the error.
"We are playing for a bracelet and don't know the rules," Dzivielevski joked. With the second double-up in a row, the Brazilian mixed game specialist leaped into a narrow lead.
