PLO-8
Howard Smith limped from under the gun, Vladimir Shchemelev limped from the button, Jesse Simonelli completed the small blind, and Usman Siddique checked his option.
The flop came down 
, and action checked to Shchemelev. He bet 50,000, and only Smith came along to see the 
turn. Smith check-called 150,000 from Shchemelev, the 
river completed the board, and both players checked.
Smith showed 
for a pair of aces, Shchemelev mucked, and Smith won the pot.
