Omaha Hi-Lo

Within two hands, the short stack of Lou Garza was reduced to zero and he has become the tenth place finisher.

He first defended the big blind against a raise by Benny Glaser and check-called the {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. On the {9-Hearts} turn, Garza checked again with 210,000 behind and Glaser bet again. Garza sigh-folded and exposed a jack-high combo with diamonds.

"Was I drawing dead?" he asked and Glaser replied "no, but I had a very good hand ... ace five nine."

One hand later, Dan Cates raised on the button and Garza reluctantly moved in from the small blind for Naoya Kihara in the small blind and Cates to call. Kihara check-called a bet on the {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop before doing so again on the {a-Diamonds} turn and {j-Diamonds} river.

Garza tabled the {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, which was scooped by Kihara's {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} for the high and Cates' {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} for the nut low.
