Omaha 8:

Spencer Lawrence is struggling after being bashed down to 55,000 by Sherkhan Farnood. I joined the action with three players remaining and an {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

board waiting patiently on the felt.

With Farnood leading out for 10,000, Phil Ivey side-stepped out of the way, and Lawrence made the call.

A {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

river triggered another bet of 10,000, and a frustrated shake of the head from Lawrence who sensed he was beat. After twitching in his seat like a frog in a blender (he is highly animated in his mannerisms), Lawrence made the call.

Sadly for the UK player, Farnood's {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

was good enough to scoop the pot.
