Omaha Hi-Lo

Abdyl Konjuhi raised on the button and was three-bet by Bart Hanson in the small blind. It was folded back to Konjuhi, who called.

Konjuhi called a bet from Hanson on the 5♠6♠Q♣ flop and then raised a bet from Hanson on the 8♦ turn. Hanson went all in for a bit more and Konjuhi called to put Hanson at risk.

Bart Hanson: A♠8♠4♣2♦ All in
Abdyl Konjuhi: A♦9♦7♦3♠

Konjuhi held a straight, but Hanson held the low for a likely chop pot.

"Deuce ball, corner pocket!" Konjuhi shouted before the river.

Sure enough, the 2♥ fell on the river — leaving Konjuhi with the best low to eliminate Hanson in 20th place.
