Omaha Hi-Lo

Small blind Esther Taylor, Maksim Pisarenko under the gun, and Dzmitry Urbanovich on the button each put in five bets preflop. Taylor then pushed in her last 5,000 blind, and the 9♥6♥J♠ flop was fanned.

Pisarenko and Urbanovich both called, after which they checked through the 5♥ turn and K♠ river.

A hopeful Taylor tabled A♠K♦Q♠4♠ for top pair, but Pisarenko had A♥A♦7♣6♠ for a pair of aces to scoop the pot and knock Taylor out.
