Kerry Stead

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Kerry Stead fought valiantly at the end, but the limits were just too big for his stack. He raised from the small blind after Van Marcus limped in on the button. Marcus made the call after Jarred Solomon called from the big blind.

Stead led out on a flop of {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

. Solomon was the only caller. On the turn {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

Stead led out a second time, then called all in once Solomon raised him.

Stead: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

Solomon:

{A-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

It wasn't over for Stead -- although he was behind for low and for high, he had outs to either half of the pot. Unfortunately, the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

the hit the river was not one of those outs. Solomon took the low with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and took the high with a ten-high straight. Stead left to scattered applause. He earned AU$15,190.
