Lindgren Takes Brutal O-8 Beat
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
From the button Erick Lindgren bet 75,000 on a flop of Q?4?10?. Julio Belluscio called from the small blind, but Federico Quevedo raised to 400,000. Lindgren called and Belluscio folded.
The turn came 7? and Quevedo led out for 1,750,000 and Lindgren called. The river paired the board with the 7? and made no low possible. Quevedo moved all in for his remaining 185,000 and Lindgren had to make a decision for the majority of his recently replenished stack.
"Where did that runout come from?" asked Lindgren. "There are only four cards in the deck that give you the scoop." He regretfully called and Quevedo showed him the bad news with a pair of tens for a rivered full house.
Lindgren kept shaking his head. "Every other card in the deck except a ten or a seven gives me a straight or a low."
"If this what you're going to do with the chips I give to you," said Belluscio, "I'm not going to give you any more."
"Could you just give me one or two?" asked Lindgren, with a forlorned chuckle.
