Kihara Wins Multi-Way Pot

Level 2 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

After defending against a cutoff raise and a small blind call by Michael Mizrachi and Ali Eslami respectively, it was Naoya Kihara who bet the {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Clubs} river. Mizrachi folded and Eslami called to get shown the {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for a six-high straight and wheel to win the entire pot.

Eslami briefly flashed his {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, thinking he had won a part of the pot but Shaun Deeb quickly pointed out "he has a wheel, wake up old man" with a smirk on the face.
