Omaha Hi-Lo
"You would've got more bets in if you bet the turn," Chris George said to Josh Arieh before the hand started.
"I saved myself 2,000 by playing bad then," Arieh said.
After their brief encounter a player raised from under the gun. Arieh called on the button and George made it three bets from the big blind. The under the gun raiser and Arieh both called.
The flop was 
and George bet. The under the gun player and Arieh both called.
On the 
turn George paused briefly.
"Oh come on," Arieh said. "Just steam it off."
"Well, ok," George said, then bet. The under the gun player called. Arieh thought about calling for a second.
"That would be a good card to raise," George said.
"Well, I'm getting 8-1," Arieh responded, then called.
On the 
George bet again. The under the gun player folded.
"Nice call, come on," George joked to Arieh. "Your six might be good."
Arieh finally decided to call. George showed 
and Arieh mucked.
"Well, it's only money," Arieh said.
This spurred an echo of 'No it's not!' from the table.
"Wait yeah that's right," Arieh said. "It says right on the chip, 'No cash value.'"
