A player in middle position bet pot, and Steve Paul-Ambrose repotted it from the big blind. The flop came J-8-6, and Paul-Ambrose quickly made a pot-sized bet. The MP player reraised pot, and Paul-Ambrose called, leaving himself only a single 25-chip behind.

Paul-Ambrose turned over A-A-K-Q. His opponent showed 2-3-5-6, commenting as he did that he'd been trying to steal the pot.

There's a reason why they call it Omadraw. A five on the turn and another five on the river, and Paul-Ambrose was crippled. He was eliminated on the next hand.
