Level 22

Omaha 8 or Better

Shaun Deeb raised on the button and Yarron Bendor called in the big blind.

Both players checked the A♥J♠Q♦ flop and Deeb bet on the 2♦ turn.

Bendor called and the 10♠ fell on the river. Deeb then bet again and Bendor took a minute before calling.

"Nine high," Deeb said. Bendor then turned over K♥4♣4♦3♥.

"What the f**k did you call me with?" Deeb said in amazement as he starred at the board for several moments.

"Oh my gosh. We're playing some O8," tablemate Clint Wolcyn said as Bendor took the pot with his pair of fours.
