Ahhh, Omaha/8 Pots

Scott Bohlman opened with a raise from under the gun. Phil Hellmuth called, and Barry Greenstein raised it up from the cutoff seat. Daniel Negreanu called on the button, in the process putting himself all in for 4,700 total. Bohlman then reraised over the top, putting the rest of his 9,700 chips into the middle as well. Hellmuth and Greenstein both called.

The board ran down {7-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {J-Spades}, with Greenstein and Hellmuth playing for the second side pot. On each street, Hellmuth check-called single bets from Greenstein.

Showdown
Bohlman: {2-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Hellmuth: {A-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {6-Spades}
Greenstein: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs}
Negreanu: {A-Spades} {7-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Spades}

OK, ready? Negreanu gets three-quarters of the main pot, with the other quarter going to Greenstein. Negreanu survives. Bohlman makes only a pair of threes, and Greenstein and Hellmuth split that small side pot. Bohlman is eliminated. And those two men split the second side pot as well, Greenstein taking half with the nut low, and Hellmuth taking the high half with his two pair.

Short version: Bohlman out. Negreanu triples to 15,500.
