Chop It Up

Pot-limit omaha hi/lo is an action game that, frankly, doesn't have as much action as you'd expect. That's because more than a few pots wind up being chopped. Take, for example, a recent pot at Nikolay Evdakov's table. There was a raise to 850 pre-flop that Evdakov (with a jacket draped from his shoulders like a cap), sitting in the small blind, and the big blind both called. Both blinds checked a paired flop, 
, inducing a bet of 900 from the pre-flop raiser. Evdakov raised that bet to 2,000, folding the big blind. The original pre-flop raiser called.
On the turn Evdakov made a strong bet of 5,000. He was called. When the river put a low and an ace on board, 
, Evdakov checked. His opponent bet 16,600. Evdakov tanked for well over a minute before calling with three jacks, 
. His opponent did not have a full house; he had 
for a low and two pair. They chopped up the pot.
