Down and Almost Out

Omaha 8:

Disaster for the Austrian Chess Master as Ivo Donev finds himself whittled down to just 30,000 chips.

On a board of {2-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}...

Sherkhan Farnood had {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Ivo Donev had {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Although both players had made a straight, Farnood took the high with the nut straight. There was a moment or two of hesitation, but after TD Jack Effel interjected, it was eventually concluded that Farnood had made the best low too with A-2-4-6-7.

As a result of that potentially bracelet-winning scoop, Farnood is now wearing a Cheshire Cat grin the width of London and can sense that victory is near.
