Big Pot; Wrong Game
It was this tables' understanding that Event #41: Mixed Double Board Bomb Pot was only doing Pot-Limit Omaha bomb pots when they went to two boards.
9♣2♥J♠
7♠K♦8♦
An early position player bet 700 and was called on his left before Joe McCarthy raised it to 3,500. There was a call on his left before Wei Hou also made the call. When it got back to the original better, he went all in for 7,200.
When it got back to McCarthy, he raised it to 30,000 and Hou called. At this point the players at the table called the floor to confirm whether or not they were playing the correct bomb pot. They were not.
The floor then explained that to start each new game (no-limit hold'em, pot-limit omaha) with that sort of bomb pot. This table should have been playing a No-Limit Hold'em bomb pot but too much action had occurred to call a misdeal and the hand continued.
Early Position: Q♣10♠8♠7♣ 
Wei Hou: K♠9♦6♠4♠
Joe McCarthy: Q♠J♣J♦5♠
The turns and rivers ran out completing the boards as follows:
9♣2♥J♠ 9♠4♣
7♠K♦8♦ 2♣10♥
McCarthy made a jacks-full boat to win one board and Hou won the other with a straight. The early position was left lamenting that they had played the wrong game.
