Omaha-8:

Erick Lindgren, Chad Brown, and Daniel Negreanu limped in and Gabe Kaplan checked his option from the big blind. The flop was {Q-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}. Everyone checked to Brown in middle position, who bet. Negreanu called from the small blind, Kaplan folded and Lindgren folded. The turn was the {4-Spades}. Negreanu checked, Brown bet and Negreanu called. The river was the {6-Hearts} and both players checked.

Negreanu turned up {3-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} -- a 7-6 low and only a pair of fours for high.

"Wow... I missed everything" said Brown, showing {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {7-?} for busted straight and flush draws as Negreanu scooped the pot.
