Leif Force Ebbing

[user75032]

It's a crazy game, this PLO8. The variance can be deadly. Leif Force was riding high as the chip leader just a few hands ago. Now he's all the way down to 95,000 after losing two pots. First, he doubled up Ali al Jenabi on a {4-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {k-Spades} flop. Jenabi turned up {2-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {k-Hearts} {j-Spades} for just a pair of kings against Force's "just a pair" of aces, {a-Spades} {a-Diamonds} {q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} . Jenabi promptly turned two pair with the {3-Spades} and dragged the whole pot with the {7-Diamonds} river.

That hand knocked Force down to 195,000. He lost another huge chunk to Jenabi a short time later when the two engaged in a pre-flop raising war that ended with Jenabi all in again. He turned up {a-Clubs} {j-Hearts} {j-Spades} [3h to Force's {a-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {7-Hearts} . A jack on the flop and no low on board was pretty much the end for Force in the hand. He's down to 95,000 now.
