Heimiller Gets the Best of Li

Jeremy Geist

Level 25

Omaha Hi-Lo

Yingui Li was in the cutoff and raised. Dan Heimiller was on the button and put in a third bet. The blinds folded and Li called.

The 2♠K♦8♠ flop hit the felt and Li check-called a bet from Heimiller. The turn brought a 5♦ and Li check-called another bet.

The dealer burned and turned the 8♣ and Li checked once more. Heimiller put out the last bet and Li only had one word that he said over and over..."F***!"

After about a minute in the tank he finally put in the chips. Heimiller tabled A♥A♦Q♥4♥ and would scoop the high and the low after Li mucked.
