PLO-8

Igor Sharaskin raised to 63,000 from the button, Vladimir Shchemelev called from the small blind, and Howard Smith called from the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and action checked around to Sharaskin, who bet 120,000. Shchmelev folded, and Smith called.

The turn brought the {A-Hearts}, and Smith and Sharaskin got all the chips into the middle, with Sharaskin at risk.

Smith: {Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Sharaskin: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Sharaskin had turned Broadway with the nut flush redraw, and Smith was drawing to the nut low. However, the {2-Diamonds} river wasn't the low card Smith needed, and Sharaskin scooped the entire pot to double up.
