Omaha Hi-Lo

Qinghai Pan raised under the gun and was called by Yuri Dzivielevski in the cutoff, Louis Abronson on the button, as well as Brian Breck and Chino Rheem in the blinds.

"If you put two aces on the flop, that would be impressive. You know what? Put three," Rheem said, as all five players at the table saw a flop of 7♥10♣6♥. Breck then bet, and Rheem called, then Pan raised. Dzivielevski and Abronson called.

"Raise," Breck said.

"That's the most seductive raise I've ever heard," Rheem told him as he got out of the way. Pan then reraised, Dzivielevski folded, and Abronson called. Breck then put in another raise, and both Pan and Abronson called.

Pan bet on the 5♣ turn, and Abronson raised. Breck called, Pan reraised, and both Abronson and Breck called.

Pan bet again on the 3♦ river, and Abronson and Breck both called. Pan showed A♣9♥8♥2♠ for a flopped ten-high straight and nut low, while Abronson had the same low with A♠6♣5♦2♥. Pan took three-quarters, chopping the low with Abronson, while Breck got nothing.
