Kessler Quintuples
Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
In classic "Chainsaw" fashion, Allen Kessler called all-in for 1,500, half a big blind, in middle position. Jorge Leon then raised from the hijack and Michael Noori called from the cutoff to create a side pot of 3,000 chips.
The flop was dealt 4♠Q♦6♣ and Leon check-called a bet from Noori. The 7♣ turn then went check-check before Noori fired another bet on the J♥ river, after a check from Leon. Leon made the call and all three players showed down.
Noori and Leon chopped the side pot with Noori winning the low with A♦A♥J♣8♥ for an eight low, and Leon winning the high with A♠K♠Q♣J♦ for two pair.
Meanwhile, Kessler scooped the main pot when he tabled 8♦5♥4♥3♦ for an eight-high straight and a seven-low, and he would start the next hand with five times as many chips.
