Abitbol Gets the Best of It
Level 16
Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Action was picked up in a three-way pot with Steven Abitbol in middle position, Michael Filipiak in the hijack, and David Funkhouser in the cutoff all having put in four bets on a 5♣7♠2♥ flop.
The turn came 7♥. Abitbol bet and the other two players called. The 8♣ river followed the same pattern.
Filipiak turned over A♥10♠3♠2♦ for the nut low, although he shared the same low with Funkhouser's A♦A♣Q♦3♣; they each got a quarter of the pot.
Abitbol turned over A♠Q♥6♣4♥ for the eight-high straight, awarding him the high half of the pot.
