You Must Use Two Cards In Omaha...

To most of us mere mortals, an $1,100 price tag is a sizable amount to be spending on a poker tournament if you don't really know how to play the game. Despite this fact, we've just spotted an "interesting" hand that had us scratching our heads and looking into our wallets.

Two unknown players got their chips in on the turn on a board of {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

One player one tabled {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for just a pair of kings - not a particularly strong Omaha holding. However his opponent flipped over {6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and was pretty adamant that he held a straight, even after the {J-Spades} fell harmlessly on the river.

You can only use two cards in Omaha sir, and after a brief argument with the dealer, the gentleman reached for his second chance rebuy card to try his luck again, much to the amusement of Annette Obrestad seated at the table.
