Baker Takes Three Quarters

Omaha-8

Justin Smith raised under the gun, and David Baker three-bet under the gun+1. The other players folded and Smith called, giving us heads up action on the flop.

The flop came down {7-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {K-Hearts} , and Smith check-called. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and once again Smith check-called. The river was the {4-Diamonds} , and the same process was repeated.

Baker showed {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} , and took the high pot with a pair of aces. Smith showed {A-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} and had the nut low, but Baker had that combination as well. Smith took just a quarter of the pot while Baker chipped up nicely.
