Weinman Quarters Frensemeier

Level 1

Omaha Hi-Lo

Todd Rodenborn raised in the hijack, Lloyd Frensemeier three-bet in the cutoff, and Daniel Weinman cold-called on the button. Rodenborn also called, and the 5J10 flop was fanned.

Rodenborn checked, Frensemeier bet, and Weinman raised. Rodenborn then folded, after which Frensemeier check-called Weinman's bets on the 4 turn and 6 river.

Weinman showed A653 for a low and two pair. Frensemeier had the same low with AQQ3, but an inferior high meant he only got half of his money back.
