Whoops

[user37786]

Omaha Hi-Lo is a confusing game, no question about it. It's not hard to misread your hand and see something that isn't there. You just hope it doesn't happen when you're playing for a bracelet.

Guth and Stevanovski traded bets and raises on the turn and built a huge pot that left Guth nearly down to nothing. The final board read {6-Spades}

and Stevanovski announced he had a straight. He laid his cards out and Guth dejectedly threw down his set of Nines . . . and then he noticed something.

"No straight, no straight!" Guth shouted, and it turned out he was right. Stevanovski misread his hand and thought he'd made a low straight, but he only had the 6-7, and his misread cost him several big bets. That pot brought the match back to exactly even, 1.4 million chips apiece.
