Omaha Hi-Lo
Thomas Argyros raised from middle position and was three-bet by Philip Sternheimer. Action folded back to Argyros, who made it four bets to go. Sternheimer called.
Sternheimer then led out for a bet on the A♠A♦9♣ flop and Argyros moved all in for his remaining chips. Sternheimer called and hands were revealed.
Thomas Argyros: A♥7♥4♥3♦
Philip Sternheimer: A♣K♠6♣5♠
Both players had flopped trips, but Sternheimer held the best kicker.
