Pot-Limit Omaha

On a {9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} board Jia Tang checked to Cord Garcia who bet 5,000. Tang called and Garcia flung {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} on the table.

Tang studied it intently, rechecking his cards.

"You win," said Garcia and Tang eventually turned over {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Spades} and took down the pot.

"I said you win because I just didn't want him to muck!" said Garcia who still sits on a healthy stack of nearly 60,000.
