Scotty Keeps It Simple, Baby

Scotty Nguyen

Pot-limit Omaha can be a complicated game to play, deal, and/or follow. Multi-way action increases the chances for confusion.

Just now we saw a potentially complicated hand over at Scotty Nguyen's table. Nguyen and another player limped in, a third raised to 825, and there were three callers all told including Nguyen. Those four saw a flop of {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. There was a check, a bet of 2,000 from Nguyen, an all-in raise to about 5,000, and another all-in call for less. The first to act folded, and Nguyen called.

Got all that? Cards on their backs...

Nguyen {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades} -- nut flush draw
Player 2 {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} -- top set and made straight
Player 3 {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} -- wrap to lesser straight

An action flop there. The dealer took a moment to sort out the main pot, then said they would handle the rest after the remaining cards were dealt.

The turn was the {K-Clubs} and river the {6-Hearts}. Nguyen's hand was best, and there was no longer any need to worry about side pots.

"Send it all over here, baby," smiled Nguyen. He's now up to 38,000.
