Crazy Night of Omaha!

by Jim Blacquiere • November 22, 2009

So was I right people, Omaha is one crazy roller coaster poker game?

Last night we saw a maximum of 11 players at a single table play No Limit Omaha with unlimited rebuys till the 6th round, and 1 add-on per player at the end of the 3rd round. Everyone bought in on the Add-on and there was a total of 5 Rebuys. That means there was a total of $38,000 in chips on the table and every 52 cards of the deck being used. Blinds started at $5/$10. Do the math peeps! Game started at 6pm and ended just after 1:00am. At 9:00pm, all 11 players were still in the game.

Game started pretty crazy. At extreme low level blinds, we seen almost every pot go an average $500 to $1k pot size. Everyone was limping and calling every 5x the big blinds. There was no escaping your pre flop raises. There was always 2 or 3 players calling everything and anything. That what happens when you mix alcohol with Omaha.

At the end, Josh and Chris were heads-up. As you can see in the following pic, Josh had an overwhelming chip lead.
 



You'll also notice that Josh's girlie squirmy facial expression when Chris called All-in.  Chris eventually won this pot with his trip Ks over Josh's trip 4s. That still wasn't enough to topple down Josh's massive chip lead, who eventually won the tourney shortly afterward.
 



All round, it was a great night of poker. Hope everyone had fun. See you all next time!
