Palti Takes a Run at Hachem

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Under the gun, Abel Cabrera raised it up, and Michael Palti three-bet from the cutoff seat. Joe Hachem cold-called the bets from the big blind, and Cabrera put in the extra bet as well.

The three-handed flop came {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {10-Diamonds}. Hachem led out with a bet, Cabrera raised, and Palti re-raised. Hachem added another bet on top, Cabrera folded, and Palti made the call all in. With no further betting, and Michael Palti at risk of elimination, the hands were turned up:

Palti: {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {8-Spades}
Hachem: {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

Hachem was in the lead, but Palti had plenty of outs for both halves of the pot. The turn was a blank {10-Clubs} but sure enough, the {7-Spades} hit the river, giving Palti the scoop with a flush and his seven-six-three low. He moves up to 11,000, while Hachem is crippled all the way down to just 375 lonely chips.
