Omaha-8

John Kabbaj raised from middle position, Gus Hansen three-bet from the button and Kabbaj called. The flop came down {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

and Kabbaj check-called a bet from Hansen. Kabbaj did the same on the turn when the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

fell. The river was the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

.

"I really hope I get something back," said Hansen as he rapped the table.

"Did you check?" asked Kabbaj.

"Yes. That's an official check from Denmark" quipped Hansen.

Kabbaj held {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

for a 7-6-5-4-2 low while Hansen's two pair with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

were good for the high.
