Harrington25 aka Jared Bleznick had one of his best days ever at Full Tilt Poker yesterday when he managed to win close to $200K in 1499 hands. Most of the loot was taken in a 1046 hand match of $200/$400 PLO Cap against thecranium where he won the $174K mentioned in the title of this report.
As I have stated many times before, to win a lot of money over a short period in the cap games, you need to run ridiculously well. In the match against thecranium, harrington25 won 26 of the 34 pots that was capped, and with hand values running as close together as they do in Omaha, you do not need a lot of imagination to understand that the card gods were on Harrington25’s side yesterday.

Ugotabanana rivers a flush to beat skjervoy’s set. $37K pot.
There were a couple of pots from yesterday that was larger than the $32K pots from the harrington25 match, and this was probably the most dramatic one of those. After some fairly typical action on the first two streets the chips really started flying on the turn. One player turning the nuts and the other a monster draw will usually do that. And even with only one card to come, Ugotabanana is only a 3-2 underdog, something that shows how strong his hand really is. Had skjervoy, for example, held top two pairs on the turn, Ugotabanana would have even been a marginal favorite even though he is behind in theory.
Inorej makes big moves with a big draw, but has to his flush on the river to win a $35K pot.
All in on the flop, skjervoy rivers a full house to win a $32K pot.
