Aussie, Aussie, Aussie... Ouch, Ouch, Ouch

Omaha -

Omaha can be one hell of a game...

On the river, the pot sat at 3,500. The {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {A-Hearts} were laid out on the felt and the rest of the deck spread when Joe Hachem bet the pot. Paul Taylor raised the pot and then Hachem moved all in. Taylor quickly called.

Taylor turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} for a royal flush. Hachem turned over two cards, the {A-Diamonds} and the {K-Spades} for kings full of aces before mucking his hand.

After being crippled to only 2,000, Hachem said, "You know what, if I lose, I don't mind losing to that hand."
