Loube Gets His Wish, Loses Anyway to Li
Level 7
Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
In a blind versus blind battle, Steven Loube bet on the 8♦Q♠5♦ flop and Yingui Li called.
The turn was the 10♠ and Loube bet again. Li called. "Keep it high, dealer. Don't do it to me," Loube pleaded.
The river was the K♦ and both players checked. "Straight," Loube said, but Li showed J♠10♦8♠3♦ for a flush.
"I know," Loube said as he mucked.
"I know you know," Li replied, taking in the pot.
"It was my fault. I should've specified exactly what high card I wanted," Loube added.
