Anoput Phimmasone Scoops A Big Pot From Jordan Morgan

Under the gun, Anoput Phimmasone bet and, along with the two blinds, called a raise by Jordan Morgan. The four players saw a flop of {2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and when Morgan bet, Phimmasone was the only caller. After the {6-Diamonds} turned, Phimmasone check-raised Morgan and Morgan called. The river was the {A-Diamonds}. Phimmasone bet, Morgan called, and Phimmasone revealed {3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the rivered wheel to scoop a huge pot. He currently sits with 190K, while Morgan has slipped to 165,000.

A Question of Taste

Split-pot games require strategies not used in NL Hold'em, and they're also fun to play. But they don't seem to be a big hit with the viewing public. Most days the rail is packed with people watching players fight their way to a World Series final table. Today there's just a handful watching, probably because after you watch ten chopped pots, you think you've seen them all.

The players, however, don't seem to mind that there aren't throngs of rabid poker fans breathing down their necks. Omaha Hi-Lo requires concentration, and every face around the four remaining tables looks determined and focused.
