Chops and Quarters, but no Bustouts
One of the fun parts of Omaha Hi-Lo is being able to keep hanging around with a short stack. In a series of hands, all the escape hatches were used that kept each of the players involved in the tournament.
First, it was Kate Hoang who was all-in and at risk against Robert Campbell. The board ran out and Campbell showed for the nut flush and nut low. Hoang had and got three-quartered to remain behind with 30,000.
The next hand, Hoang chopped an all-in. In the subsequent hand, Pete Rasmussen raised all in for 11,000 on the button, which didn't count as a raise. Danny Tang made it two bets in the small blind and Hoang called in the big blind.
The flop was and the rest of Tang's small stack went in as well.
Pete Rasmussen:
Kate Hoang:
Danny Wong:
The turn was the and the river the to keep everyone around. Shortest stack Rasmussen scooped the main pot with the wheel, while Hoang and Wong chopped the side pot.
