Odd Two Pair Works for D'Agostino

Normally two pair is not going to scoop a four-way showdown in Omaha Hi/Lo. But it did in a recent hand for John D'Agostino. D'Agostino, Alexander Kravchenko, Steve Sung and Neal Friets all called a pre-flop raise from the button player at their table. That player continued on a flop of {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {3-Hearts} when the action checked to him. Everyone except Kravchenko called.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds}. When action came to Friets, he led into the button player. That player called, as did Sung and D'Agostino in turn.

The river fell {j-Spades}. Action checked all the way through. D'Agostino called two pair and opened {k-Spades} {q-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} for kings and treys. Surprisingly, that was good enough to take the whole pot.
