In a continuation of their high-stakes online rivalry, ‘GucciNIKE’ and ‘Giselle54’ clashed once again in $500-$1,000 5-card pot-limit Omaha on CoinPoker, this time with a $200 ante. GucciNIKE walked away with a massive $800,000+ in winnings after a session filled with deep-stacked pots and high drama.
A 279-Big-Blind Cooler Hits Giselle54
The most notable hand of the day came when GucciNIKE opened to $3,000, only for Giselle54 to reraise to $9,000. GucciNIKE four-bet to $27,000, and Giselle54 called.
The flop brought J♣10♥9♦, prompting a $16,000 lead-out from Giselle54. GucciNIKE called, and the 2♦ on the turn saw Giselle54 fire a massive $62,000 bet. GucciNIKE responded with a pot-sized raise covering Giselle54’s remaining $235,996, which was called—creating a $558,393 pot.
GucciNIKE revealed A♠A♣K♠Q♥3♣ for the nuts, while Giselle54 held Q♣Q♦8♦7♠5♣. The board ran out 6♥ K♥, leaving Giselle54 with no outs and GucciNIKE claiming the pot, a brutal cooler that cost 279 big blinds.
Hand Analysis:
The coordinated flop favored the out-of-position player, while the four-bet range of GucciNIKE concentrated around aces. Giselle54’s aggressive turn bet was well-intentioned, capitalizing on a flush draw and blockers, but the depth of the stacks made the call risky. With only 24% equity, Giselle54 was in a classic cooler situation.
Turning a Straight into a Bluff
Later, another monster hand featured 157-blind stacks. GucciNIKE opened to $3,000, Giselle54 reraised to $9,000, and GucciNIKE called.
The 5♣3♠2♠ flop saw Giselle54 check, with GucciNIKE checking back. On the 4♣ turn, Giselle54 check-called a pot-sized $18,340 bet. The J♣ river led Giselle54 to fire $41,265 as a bluff, representing strength despite holding A♦K♠J♠10♣5♦ for a wheel. GucciNIKE called with 8♦8♣7♥6♦3♥, holding a higher straight to scoop the $137,610 pot.
Hand Analysis:
Low-texture boards favor in-position players in 5-card PLO, and three-bet pots often concentrate on high-card hands. Giselle54 attempted an unorthodox bluff by turning a straight into aggression, leveraging blockers to maximize fold equity. Unfortunately for them, GucciNIKE’s own blockers allowed a successful call, proving once again that precision and timing in PLO can make all the difference.
A Session Defined by Skill, Depth, and Blockers
The day’s session showcased GucciNIKE’s mastery in deep-stacked 5-card PLO, combining strong hand reading with strategic aggression. Despite creative plays from Giselle54, including turning a made straight into a bluff, GucciNIKE navigated the massive pots with surgical precision, securing over $800,000 in winnings and reinforcing their edge in the ongoing heads-up battle.
