Everybody Loves Raymond

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

In what has become a familiar sight so far during this barrage of bustouts here on day one, we watched another three-way all-in pot develop, and with it, another player was sent to the rail.

The flop read {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades} when Raymond Morgan and two opponents bet and potted until all their chips were pushed forward.

Showdown:

Morgan: {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Opponent #1: {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Opponent #2: {2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

When the three hands were exposed, it became clear why we lost more than one player per minute during an early level of play. Everybody had hit the flop hard, with Morgan finding top two pair, one opponent picking up an open-ended straight draw, and the other flopping a set of deuces.

Turn: {9-Clubs}

Omaha is a gambler's game, and one that requires a strong constitution to stomach the beats. Morgan found one of his four outs on the turn, and the {4-Clubs} arrived on the river for good measure.

Despite holding pocket kings preflop, and flopping a set of deuces with the other half of his hand, Morgan's opponent was left with the second best hand, and his stack was sent across the table.
