Emergency High!

[user75032]
[user75032]
Most Omaha Hi/Lo players will tell you stories of how they made an emergency low (a really, really bad low hand) to take the low half of the pot after they thought they'd be winning the high half. Ben Gold just introduced us to the concept of the emergency high.

On a board of {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs}, Mickey Appleman and Gold went to showdown. Appleman showed {A-Hearts} {2-Spades} {9-Spades} {7-Spades} for the nut low, with ace-high for high. Gold showed the same low, {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {J-Spades} and a pair of deuces for high. Improbably a pair of deuces was good enough for the high half. Appleman wound up quartered.

Counts after the hand -

Appleman: 24,000
Gold: 95,000
