Langmann Not Playing Omaha Now
We arrived tableside to see a flop. Alec Torelli (mid position) bet out. Florian Langmann (cutoff) raised. Torelli shoved, and Langmann called. They waited briefly for some TV cameras which never appeared, and then revealed their hands.
Torelli: for the flopped straight
Langmann: for top pair and an open-ended straight draw
Turn: making both players a queen-high straight
River:
"Sorry man," said Langmann as the turn dropped on the felt. The dealer started to chop the pot, and pushed half of it to Torelli. "Hey hey, what are you doing?" asked Langmann, suddenly alarmed; he hadn't registered that it was a chopped pot. The dealer turned over all the mucked cards to prove it.
"I play too much Omaha," laughed Langmann once he'd realized his mistake. "Then I'm not sorry."
The disappointed Torelli remained on around 24,000. Langmann is still flying high, although not as high as he thought he would be after that, on 85,000.
