Penguin In A Microwave

Two third-generation stars cross swords with a veteran Elvis impersonator (not too many of them in poker!) as Bruce 'Elvis' Atkinson, Jon 'Pearljammer' Turner and Richard 'I need a nickname so I don't feel left out' Ashby tangle in a pot of Omaha.

The action started with Ashby flat calling in late position, followed by Turner (button) and Atkinson (big blind).

Flop = {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Everyone checked round to Turner whose 300 bet was called by both players, before the same happened on the {J-Spades} turn. This time only Ashby called, and the dealer dealt out the final card, the {10-Clubs}.

Both players checked with Turner taking it down with {J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts} leaving the once chip leader and his {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{K-Spades} about as happy as penguin in a microwave.
