Ted Lawson gets it allin on the turn thinking he has a straight. He does not, in fact, have said straight. Going from Hold'em to Omaha is kinda hard when you're new, I've seen loads of misread hands. The most common is when there are trips on the board and someone thinks he got a full house even though he doesnt have a pocket pair... This guy however wouldn't have had a straight even if he could use all 9 cards.... ROFL To all Omaha newbs: You MUST use 3 of cards on the board and 2 of your own to make your hand... You CAN'T use 4 on the board and 1 from your hand etc.. That's pretty embarrassing! Esp. when it's the FT of the $5k rebuy!
All players misread their hands from time to time including the pros. This is Omaha which makes it even more likely. Just one of those things.
If that was Chuck Norris he would have won with his 7-10 straight...
