Ben “Sauce1234” Sulsky has not been running well lately.
The online pro recently lost a pot worth about $100,000 to a gut-shot straight draw on the river. It happened again this past Friday.
Sulsky and unknown Italian luckexpress10 sat down at the virtual felt for some $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha action on Full Tilt Poker. The session did not go Sulsky’s way, as he lost a few six-figure pots.
Here is a look at the hand that was almost identical to the one Sulsky lost to Patrik Antonius one week prior:
The Scenario:
| Game/Blinds | Pot-Limit Omaha | $200-$400 |
| Player | luckexpress10 | Ben Sulsky |
| Stack Size | $55,394 | $81,795 |
| Hand | A 2 K 10 |
9 9 8 8 |
The Action:
The confrontation started when Sulsky raised to $1,200 from the button. Luckexpress10 three-bet to $2,400, and Sulsky four-bet to $7,200. Luckexpress10 five-bet to $21,600, and Sulsky called. The flop came Q 8 3.
Luckexpress10 went all in for $33,794, and Sulsky called with his set. According to Card Player’s Omaha odds calculator, Sulsky wins about 90 percent of the time on the flop.
The 4 fell on the turn, giving luckexpress10 a gut-shot straight draw. Disaster struck on the river for Sulsky, as the 5 pealed off the virtual deck. Luckexpress10 came from behind to win the $110,788 pot.
