Zaichenko Piles On, "ODB" Wins the Hand
Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
The floor was called to Table 606 because a player complained that Andrey Zaichenko's cards weren't visible. Zaichenko was covering almost all of the cards with his hand and maintained that he didn't want much of the card visible because the cards were marked. The supervisor said the hand had to be visible and Zaichenko piled on chips over his cards and asked if that was OK.
The supervisor said as long as the cards were at least 50 percent visible, he was fine. He also offered to bring a new deck.
Finally, the hand played out with the complaining player folding in turn on 
. David "ODB" Baker had bet from the cutoff and both small blind Alex Livingston and big blind Zaichenko had called. They went three ways to the 
and ODB's next bet was only called by Livingston.
On the 
river, Livingston checked and eventually folded to a final bet.
