O8 Saves Eslami

Omaha-8

Ali Eslami limped in from early position, David Bach limped from the cutoff, Gus Hansen raised from the button, Andy Bloch called from the small blind and both Eslami and Bach called the additional bet. The flop came down {Q-Clubs}

. The action was checked to David Bach, who bet. Hansen raised, Bloch folded, Eslami called and Bach called. The turn came the {J-Diamonds}

and Eslami checked to Bach, who fired again. Hansen folded and Eslami called. The river was the {2-Diamonds}

and this time Eslami led out. Bach thought for a moment before deciding to raise and Eslami made the call.

Bach showed {A-Diamonds}

for two pair nines and deuces, but Eslami had him crushed with {A-Clubs}

for trip deuces. Eslami raked in the pot and got a much-needed chip infusion, his stack now up to 63,000.
