Five to the Flop

Omaha 8/b:

Daniel Alaei, Ted Forrest, Erick Lindgren, Mike Matusow and Eli Elezra all saw a {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades} flop. Alaei led out from the big blind for 800, Forrest called from UTG, Lindgren raised to 1,600, Matusow cold-called the two bets and Elezra made it 2,400 to go. Alaei called, Forrest folded and both Lindgren and Matusow called. All four remaining players checked the {2-Hearts} on the turn. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Alaei checked to Lindgren, who bet 1,600. Matusow and Alaei both called.

Alaei turned over {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and made a surprising scoop, as neither of his opponents made a low. Alaei is up to 178,000 from his 150,000 starting stack.
