Miami's Luis Calvo has won the 2017 World Series of Poker's Event #49, $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed and the $362,185 that came with it.
Calvo had earned $110,614 in two previous WSOP cashes.
"I flopped top pair and a flush draw and I had three live cards. I figured he was going to do a continuation bet. Little did I know he had a huge hand as well. Once I check-raised him to 1,000,000, he tanked for a while and put me all in; there was no--- I just couldn't fold there. I couldn't leave myself too short. And I figured I had outs where I was still okay. I still felt like I could win the hand. If he had a set I could make a flush. If he had a bigger flush draw maybe I could make two pair. That's exactly what happened. He had no pair," and when Reilly missed his plentiful draws, the pot was Calvo's.
