Lee Busts to Lau

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante
Hok Lee
Hok Lee

There are plenty of hands in Omaha that play itself, especially when the stack has been reduced already. On a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} one such scenario took place with Hok Lee and Ka Kwan Lau getting their stacks in, the former was the one at risk and needed to hold up in order to avoid elimination.

Hok Lee: {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Ka Kwan Lau: {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

While Lee had flopped a straight, Lau had a ton of outs with the higher straight draw and bottom set. However, the {J-Hearts} turn improved Lau and the {A-Diamonds} river changed nothing whatsoever to eliminate Lee.
