Omaha Hi-Lo

Four-way to the 10♦A♦J♦ flop, Carol Fuchs bet in the hijack, and only Sachin Bhargava called, on the button.

Fuchs also bet the 8♠ turn and the 4♦ river, being called down by Bhargava. Fuchs tabled K♦K♥5♣3♣ for a pair of kings and a low. Bhargava had the same low with 7♥5♦3♥3♦, but a flush awarded him the high half of the pot.
