Bad to Worse

[user75032]

Omaha Hi/Lo:

James Van Alstyne had a terrible round of hold'em, and now he's been quartered in Omaha Hi/Lo. Luckily for van Alstyne, it was limped three-way pot that was checked through on the flop and turn. At the river, with the board showing {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

, Van Alstyne led with a bet that was called by Tad Jurgens. The hands were:

Jurgens: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

Van Alstyne: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

Each player had a live ace for low, but Jurgens got the high half of the pot with his pair of eights.
