Marcus Goes for the Kill; Gets Quartered

[user75032]

Omaha Hi/Lo:

With the departure of Anthony McNamara, Kerry Stead was the lone super-short stack at the table. He three-bet preflop after Van Marcus raised. Marcus made the call.

Stead had only 5,000 left in his stack after the flop came down {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{5-Spades}

. He put it in the middle, and when Marcus called Stead lamented that he must be drawing dead.

Marcus: {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

Stead:

{4-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

The turn and river came {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and

{3-Spades}

for a running low and running straight. Stead wound up with three-quarters of the pot.

"How does he go runner-runner there?" Marcus complained. "Worst dealer ever!" he added with a joking wink in the dealer's direction.
