Omaha-8

From middle position, Jason Lester raised. Sebastian Ruthenberg called from the button and Vladimir Shchemelev called from the big blind to see the flop come out {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Shchemelev bet out and Lester called. Ruthenberg also called to keep all three players in to see fourth street.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and now the board was eligible for a low. Shchemelev checked and Lester bet. Ruthenberg made the call and Shchemelev called as well.

The {2-Clubs} landed on the river and Shchemelev bet out. Lester called and Ruthenberg called. Time for the hands.

Shchemelev showed the {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} for an eight-high straight and a seven-six low. Lester showed the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} for the nut low. Ruthenberg tabled the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the same nut low. Shchemelev won half of the pot with his straight while Ruthenberg and Lester got a quarter with the same nut low.
