Omaha 8/b:
Daniel Alaei, Ted Forrest, Erick Lindgren, Mike Matusow and Eli Elezra all saw a 
flop. Alaei led out from the big blind for 800, Forrest called from UTG, Lindgren raised to 1,600, Matusow cold-called the two bets and Elezra made it 2,400 to go. Alaei called, Forrest folded and both Lindgren and Matusow called. All four remaining players checked the 
on the turn. The river was the 
and Alaei checked to Lindgren, who bet 1,600. Matusow and Alaei both called.
Alaei turned over 
and made a surprising scoop, as neither of his opponents made a low. Alaei is up to 178,000 from his 150,000 starting stack.
