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.
