Not the Prettiest Scoop for the G

They say, in baseball, that in the box score all singles look the same, no matter how ugly they may have been during actual play. In omaha, the result of all scoops is the same -- all of the chips go to one person, no matter how ugly the scoop may have been.

Tony G bet a flop of {5-Spades} {q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} and was called only by Steve Zolotow. Zolotow called another bet when the turn came {5-Diamonds} and one more on the {8-} river. At showdown, the G tabled {q-Diamonds} {j-Spades} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades}, queens and fives for high and deuce-trey for low. Neither hand was particularly strong, but Zolotow peered at Tony G's hand and then mucked his own, apparently unable to claim either half of the pot.

Tony G now has about 55,000 chips.
