"Could Be Worse"

Omaha-8

Bruno Fitoussi was under the gun and raised to 800. Doyle Brunson called from the button and both blinds called as well.

The blinds checked when the flop came {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Fitoussi bet 400. Everyone called to see the {K-Clubs} on the turn. Once again, the blinds checked and Fitoussi bet 800. Brunson and the small blind mucked, but the player in the big blind opted to call.

The big blind checked the {7-Diamonds} on the river and Fitoussi bet. The big blind called and the two turned over their cards:

Fitoussi: {2-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Big Blind: {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The big blind saw Fitoussi's two pair with nut low and fretted for a moment, thinking his hand was no good. He then realized he had a higher two pair to take the high end. Fitoussi looked frustrated but commented, "Could be worse." Fitoussi is sitting with around 30,000.
