Omaha Hi-Lo

John Monnette limped under the gun, Robert Mizrachi raised from the hijack, Davin Anderson called in the big blind, and Monnette called.

On the A♠8♥5♦ flop, the action checked to Mizrachi who bet and only Anderson called.

Mizrachi fired again on the 10♦ turn as Anderson called.

Anderson called a final bet on the 10♥ river as Mizrachi tabled A♥10♠4♠2♠ for the second nut high and second nut low as he scooped a much needed pot.

"That's all?" joked Anderson in the post-mortem.
