Hard To Win Chips Against The Nut-Nut

[user67765]

Dutch Boyd just got himself caught in the middle in a hand of Omaha-8. The action was multi-way maniacal on the flop of {2-Diamonds}

, with Carlos Mortensen firing bets on {9-Spades}

turn and

river.

Jon Turner called before Dutch Boyd gave it up on the river. Turner flipped {A-Clubs}

for the nut low as Mortensen showed {9-Hearts}

for quads for the nut high!
