Mitchell Spikes the River to Win a Huge Pot

PLO-8

The action folded to Tobias Hausen who made it 3,000 on the button. Cameron Mitchell defended from the big blind and the flop came . Mitchell check-called a bet of 5,000 from Hausen and the rolled off on the turn.

Mitchell checked again and Hausen pushed in a bet of 15,000. Mitchell thought for a moment and then announced a check-raise for the whole pot. Hausen moved his last 53,500 into the middle and the cards were tabled.

Cameron Mitchell:
Tobias Hausen:

Hausen was in the lead with two pair and the nut flush draw while Mitchell held the best low draw. Mitchell was desperately looking for a five or ten to scoop the pot, and indeed the hit the river. Mitchell made a straight for the high hand and there was no low hand available. Hausen disappointedly walked away with a min-cash while Mitchell appears to have taken over the chip lead.
