Aces vs. Aces

Level 3

We caught up with the action on the river with the board reading {7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Vanessa Selbst checked and then faced a bet from Joe Ford, who finished fourth yesterday in the $1,500 Omaha Eight-or-Better tournament. Selbst raised, Ford called, and it was time for a showdown:

Selbst: {3-Hearts}{a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Ford: {q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The players split the high with their pairs of aces, while Selbst won the low with her seventy-five. Ford got quartered, and Selbst raked in the remaining three-quarters of the pot.
