Omaha 8:

This round unsurprisingly gets some of its most exciting big pots chopped in the end. It's still sometimes interesting to see how they get there, though. Just now it was Adam Heller vs. Joe Beevers, neither in a hurry to showdown after they reached the river on a {9-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {4-Hearts} {K-Spades} board.

"Two pair," announced a cagey Beevers. Then Heller showed just his {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} . Then Beevers showed his {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} . Neither could do better with their accompanying cards, and they split the high-only pot.

Elsewhere a fourway flop of {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} was whittled down to two as Jens Vortmann bet 200 and only Barny Boatman called. On the {9-Diamonds} turn Boatman check-raised Vortmann, who made the call. The river brought the {7-Diamonds} and now Boatman checked a third time to Vortmann, who bet once again; call.

Boatman: {3-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {5-Clubs} for the low
Vortmann: {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {2-Spades} for the high.
