Lehr Flops Top Set, Cochrane Catches Turn
Two of the more experienced Pot Limit Omaha players in today’s field just played one of the biggest pots of the day on Table 1.
Action was picked up before the flop, when Keith Lehr three-bet the button to 43,000. Gavin Cochrane, who opened from middle position, called and then checked the [AsTd3] flop.
Lehr took quick inventory of his own stack and his opponent’s, before continuing for 45,000. It was then Cochrane’s turn to count his holdings and after he did, he shoved.
Lehr snap called and tabled [AhAc7s6c] for top set. Cochrane was behind, but had outs with [Ad8d9s2s].
One of those outs came in on the turn, as Cochrane immediately spiked the [4s] to hit his flush. The [2c] completed the board and Lehr went from top set and one of the top stacks to one of the shortest left in the tournament after shipping the double. After Cochrane completed stacking his haul, he found himself on the other end of the leaderboard.
