[user67765]

Mel Judah was just all in during a hand of Omaha-8, but as is the nature of the split game, they chopped it up and shared a small profit.

With the board reading {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

, the blinds checked to Frank Debus on the button who fired a bet. Judah then put in a check-raise from the small blind, forcing a reluctant fold from Mark Scott in the big blind. Debus reraised to put Judah all in and he made the call.

Judah showed {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

for a straight and six-low, but Debus showed {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

for a bigger straight.

The river was the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

and Scott cringed as his opponents chopped up his dead money.
