Buchalter Wins; Shack-Harris Unsure

Geoff Paul

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Preflop action folded to Brandon Shack-Harris in early position. He started to reach for his chips before stopping. He seemed unsure on what action to take before folding his hand.

"I feel like you had all options available to you there," said a player at the table.

"Yeah," replied Shack-Harris. "I thought about raising, then limping, then just folded. Ah, see, look at this," he said as action continued to fold behind him.

"I'll make you feel better," said Yehuda Buchalter, raising from the button. The player in the big blind was the only caller.

The flop came A?8?4?, but Buchalter's bet resulted in his opponent folding.

"That's not a terrible flop for me," said Buchalter, turning over A?8?6?5?.
