Week One of the Poker After Dark $100,000 Pot Limit Omaha Cash Game concluded on NBC on Friday evening.
High stakes regulars Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey and Phil Galfond all featured in the first ever PLO session in Poker After Dark history.
Brian Hastings and Brandon Adams locked horns during the second episode following an action K-K-8-6 flop.
Hastings trip fours dominated Adams’ two pair but the Harvard professor check-called three five figure bets from Hastings before mucking his hand.
Tom Dwan then produced an impressive fold after rivering a six-high straight.
Dwan, wary of Ivey’s check raise post flop and $10,000 and $30,000 bullets on the turn and river, made the right call as his opponent had improved to a full house.
Dawn revealed, “I was pretty confident in my fold, I guess I’ll need to watch it on TV to see if I was right or not, but hopefully I was.”
A Patrik Antonius straddle then prompted the whole table to limp in pre flop. However, only Ivey and Galfond continued their interest in the hand when Antonius led out for $5,000 post flop.
Antonius had hit a straight but both Ivey and Galfond had cards to improve with flush and straight draws.
Those cards had arrived by the river as Ivey completed a King-high flush. Galfond, with a Queen-high flush, led out for $56,000 and was called down by both his opponents as Ivey shipped the $198,600 pot.
