Jared ‘Theblez’ Bleznick isn’t riding off into the sunset following the now-famous $2.5 million session on CoinPoker. No, the nosebleed pot-limit Omaha battles have continued, and Bleznick has continued to win more than he loses.
After the massive win, Bleznick took a $300,000 loss at the hands of ‘Giselle54.’ However, he linked up with his rival for another session on Aug. 27. Bleznick booked a big win, $863,909, at mainly $500-$1,000 PLO. Giselle54, meanwhile, endured a $1.1 million loss.
This week’s second high-stakes review will examine a couple of four-bet pots the two played. Each player was the four-bettor in one of the hands.
Giselle54 Overplays Aces
Playing 177 big blinds deep, Giselle54 potted on the button and then four-bet preflop to $27,000. Bleznick called to put $54,400 in the middle total, including a $200 ante from each player.
On the 5♠4♦2♦, Bleznick led for $27,170. Giselle54 potted for $135,850. Bleznick shoved for the last $14,113, and Giselle54 called.
Bleznick flopped the nuts with 7♣6♣4♥3♣, and Giselle54 was in a world of hurt with A♥A♦Q♣6♥.
The players ran it twice. Giselle54 completely whiffed on the 9♦, 10♠ runout. Giselle turned some outs on the second run when the 4♠ paired the board, but a K♠ river sent the entire $354,327 to Bleznick.

Hand Analysis
Aces are always going to prefer to four-bet preflop at 100 blinds, and there’s no good reason not to four-bet decent single-suited aces even at these deeper stacks.
As for Bleznick’s three-bet, it’s pretty loose, and wider than standard. But once he does three-bet, calling a four-bet is mandatory with a single-suited one-gap rundown.
The low texture with three wheel cards is interesting because Giselle54 will have a wheel pretty often. Remember, Giselle represented an aces-heavy range with the preflop four-bet. Additionally, there will be quite a few nut flush draw in the player’s range.
However, Bleznick’s range contains more sets, two pairs, and nut straights. That makes leading a good play here, and the nuts seems like a fine hand to do it with.
Facing the lead, Giselle54 goes for an extremely risky jam. Having A-A-6 does significantly the combos of straights in Bleznick’s range. However, holding the A♦ seems pretty bad since it weights Bleznick away from combo draws and toward made hands. All of those made hands have aces without backup in bad to very bad shape.
At 100 blinds, shoving and hoping for the best would be a little dicey but within reason. In that scenario, the players would have only had about $73,000 left with $54,000 in the middle.
Playing with a stack-to-pot ratio (SPR) of about 3, Giselle54 was left with no option besides possibly getting it all in almost dead, which is exactly what happened.
Bleznick Slowplays After Crushing Flop
This time, the players were a hair under 140 blinds deep, and Bleznick was on the button. He was the player who got to four-bet this time.
With $54,400 in the middle again, Bleznick opted to check back on the flop, so they went to the turn with Q♦8♥3♥2♦ on the felt. Giselle54 potted, Bleznick jammed, and Giselle54 called off for $57,900 more.
Bleznick had a hammerlock on the board with A♥Q♠Q♥7♥, giving him top set and the nut flush draw. Giselle54 had turned two pair with A♠4♠3♦2♥ and needed an offsuit 5 to win the pot. But the two rivers came 7♣ and 9♣ sending the whole $278,880 pot to Bleznick.
Bleznick took the $278,880 pot.

Hand Analysis
Preflop, it was Giselle54’s turn to make a light three-bet with a single-suited ace-high hand. These hands three-bet pretty frequently, but doing so with three wheel cards isn’t ideal. Those hands will sometimes be dominated even when they connect pretty hard with the board for two pair, trips, or even straights.
Bleznick’s four-bet gets some value, and at this depth, four-betting then folding with a hand like A-Q-Q tri-suit can be a nice play. Dominated hands will call sometimes, and the opponent will usually have A-A if they five-bet.
Bleznick flops so huge that he checks back in hopes of either inducing a bluff or giving Giselle54 a chance to make a hand that will put some money in.
That’s exactly what happens on the turn. In a four-bet pot, getting all in with two pair and a gutshot is completely reasonable. Bleznick might have a hand like A-K-5-4 with diamonds that checked back on the flop with no immediate equity.
Giselle54 just runs into an unfortunate cooler and had had almost no equity, while Bleznick won another four-bet pot en route to another big win.
