Becker and Brewer checked on the 4♠3♦9♦ flop and Yockey continued with a bet. Both players called. Becker and Brewer checked again on the 9♠ turn and Yockey checked back.

The 7♥ river checked through and Yockey took half with the nut low and a pair of threes, while Brewer got a quarter with a pair of threes and Becker got a quarter with the nut low.

"This was a slightly complicated one," Chris Vitch said from the booth.

"It's not every day you see that big a pot where the best high hand in Omaha is a pair of threes," added David Tuchman.
