Luu Can Do It

We join a four-way pot on the flop with the board showing {9-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {5-Clubs}. When the blinds checked, Bruno Fitoussi put out a bet. Thang Luu called, Greg Raymer folded from the small blind, and Ted Lawson called from the big.

The fourth card was the {A-Hearts}. Lawson and Fitoussi checked, and Luu took the opportunity to make a bet. Lawson called, while Fitoussi ducked out of the way.

Heads up then, the river card brought the {K-Diamonds}, and both players checked. "Just an ace," lamented Lawson, waiting for his opponent to turn over his cards. Luu obliged, tabling {A-Spades} {9-Spades} {8-Spades} {7-Diamonds} for the winning two pair.

Thang Luu has already won one Omaha Hi/Lo bracelet this year, but he has a lot of work to do if he's to collect a second. He desperately needed that last pot, moving up to 10,000 as he added those chips to his stack.
