Nut-Nut for the Scoop

In hold'em, the best possible hand is "the nuts". In omaha split, the best possible hand it the "nut-nut" -- the nut hand for both halves of the pot. That's the hand Michael Freits turned over in a recent pot against Alexander Kravchenko.

Freits was one of four players in for a flop of {j-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {3-Spades}. Freits bet and was called only by Kravchenko. That same action repeated itself on the {9-Clubs} turn and the {4-Clubs} river. At showdown, Freits turned over {a-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts} -- ace-deuce for low and a seven-high straight for high. Kravchenko nodded his head and mucked his hand.

Freits is up to 40,000. Kravchenko has 36,500.
