"Nut Low and Lowest Boat" (Event #3 - $300 PLO Hi/Lo)
Level 2
Blinds: 25/50
On a board reading [3s][3h][2d], both blinds check, and Tom Westort bets 200 from under the gun. A player in middle position calls, as do both of the blinds.
When the turn comes the [4s], both blinds check once again, and Westort bets 750. The player in middle position calls, as do both blinds.
The river is the [ad]. The blinds both check for a third time and Westort bets 3,300. The player in middle position calls, the small blind folds, and the big blind tanks. After a minute of thinking, the big blind hesitantly calls the bet.
"Nut low, and the lowest boat," Westort says as he turns over [jd][5d][2c][2h].
The player in the big blind mucks his cards, and the player in middle position turns over [8c][7d][5c][3c] for the same low, good for a quarter of the pot.
Westort is now sitting with 17,000 from a 10,000 starting stack.
