River Chops Forrest

One of the pain unique to Omaha hi/lo is getting chopped on the river. Usually it's by a low coming in, and someone's second-best high making an emergency low. In Ted Forrest's recent hand, it was a second-best hand rivering the best high. Forrest was one of three players to take a raised flop of {8-Clubs} {a-Spades} {k-Clubs}. Forrest check-raised, driving one player out of the hand and getting the pot heads-up to the {6-Spades} turn. His opponent called one bet there, then called another on the {10-Spades} river. Forrest showed down {a-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts} for the nut low and two pair. His opponent showed {a-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {q-Diamonds} {j-Clubs}, having rivered a Broadway straight. Chop it up.
