Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
With the flop showing 8?2?3? and action checking to him by Andres Korn in the big blind, Tehuda Buchalter bet under the gun. Motoyoshi Okamura called from middle position, as did Korn.
The K? turn brought another check from Korn. Buchalter bet, with only Okamura calling.
Despite only winning half of the pot, Buchalter has now taken the chip lead.
The Q? river brought a final bet from Buchalter, which was also called. Buchalter turned over A?8?5?2? for two pair with an eight-five. Okamura showed A?10?10?4? to take the low with an eight perfect.
