Joseph Olivieri
Event 39 Champion Joseph Olivieri

During Pot-Limit Omaha, Joseph Olivieri raised from the button to 40,000, and Ryan Hoenig called from the big blind.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of Ac8s3sJd, Hoenig checked, Olivieri bet 35,000, and Hoenig called.

The river card was the 7d, Hoenig bet 60,000, and Olivieri moved all in.

Hoenig stopped to think and asked, “Did you check back aces?

Hoenig thought for a while before he folded, showing two cards — 8d8c for a set of eights. Olivieri took the pot without showing his cards.

Hoenig looked to Robert Morris, who has been on the rail supporting Olivieri, and said, “I made the right fold, Bobby.”

Joseph Olivieri  –  1,490,000  (25 BB)
Ryan Hoenig  –  70,000  (1 BB)

The next hand, Hoenig got it all in from the button for 70,000, and they turned over their cards.

Joseph Olivieri:  AsJd9d7s
Ryan Hoenig:  10h10s4s3c

The board came Ah7d6s2s4h, and Olivieri won the pot — and the title and the trophy — with two pair, aces and sevens.

Congratulations to Joseph Olivieri!

During Razz, Joseph Olivieri and Ryan Hoenig put in 30,000 each to kick off the hand.

Joseph Olivieri:  (XxXx)  3x9xAxKx
Ryan Hoenig:  (XxXx)  5x7x8x7x

4th Street:  Hoenig bet 30,000, and Olivieri called.

5th Street:  Hoenig checked, Olivieri bet 60,000, and Hoenig called.

6th Street:  Both players checked.

7th Street:  Olivieri checked, Hoenig bet 60,000, and Olivieri called.

Joseph Olivieri:  (5x2x)  3x9xAxKx  (2x)
Ryan Hoenig:  (5x4x)  5x7x8x7x  (7x)

Hoenig laughed when Olivieri called his last bet, and announced that he had a full house (sevens full of fives). Technically, Hoenig’s razz hand was a pair of fives, and Olivieri won the pot with a 9-5 low to take a 5.5-to-1 chip lead.
