Most poker players know that Pot Limit Omaha is a whole different ball game. Don’t let the word “limit” in its name fool you, this game is action-packed on any given day.
Paul Brun seems to have a fairly simple plan: take out as many players as you can in one single hand. Although we did not witness the hand, we were lucky enough to catch the results of this massive hand.
It all started with a 4-way all-in preflop involving Paul Brun, Brian Spoiala, Richard Burton Miller and John Scalise. Let us remember that Scalise was second chip leader after the break.
The hand was over and the cards were being scooped up but players were happy to recount the hand to us and at least give us the two playing hole cards of each player.

On the flop everyone was in for a big surprise and all the players agreed that the hand would have played out in the same manner had they seen the flop before going all-in:
Middle set and three flushes… no one would have backed down. The turn and river changed nothing and Paul Brun with nut flush scooped up 3 bounties and ended up with a massive 180+ stack, roughly 2.5x the average at the time.
This hand started with 19 players on 3 tables. By the time all was said and done, Paul Burton was catapulted to the top of the leader board, and forced a table break with now only 16 players left.
