Pot's right, there's the river. Now what we have here is, we have a hand that definitely
has the possibility of the low. The nuts is a straight to the six and then someone might
sort of get suckered in to playing top two pair if they have jacks or tens. Some more
betting occurs
and then we look at who wins. Small blind has a pair of queens as his high hand and
then the jack, ten and five play. That’s his high hand. We also have to consider his
low hand. He has a very strong low. He actually has a low six, five, three, deuce, ace. It’s
a very good low hand. There's actually only one low hand that could beat it which would
be the straight to the five. Here’s the big blind. We're not really sure what the
big blind was thinking staying in, but he wound up with top two pair. This would actually
be a pretty decent hand in regular Omaha, but we're playing Omaha Eight or Better. We're
playing high-low. At this moment he does have the high hand because he got two pair, but
he has no chance at the low. He's missing out on half the pot. And then finally let's
look at the dealer's hand. Oh, what you know. The dealer made the straight. Six, five, four,
three, deuce. Big blinds out and the dealer has the six, five, four, three, deuce. Unfortunately
that's also his luck. So he loses half the pot to the person in the small blind. So they
both will receive half the pot.
