I took the omaha 8 example in order to avoid explaining why two holdem players would made it to the river in order to hit a wheel and broadway straight.
Promised, in my next posts I will had subtitles to make the thread less attractive to trolls.
Saw it happen live but there was the presence of a flush draw that kept a player around to chase the gut-shot.
Multi-way limped pot in a 2/5 game, I'll say 6 players got in there, could have been 5 or 7, doesn't matter. Guy with 45ss (Player A) sees a flop of A23, with the A and 2 spades. Checks, checks around to either cut-off or button, I forget, doesn't matter, we'll just say Player B, who bets out about $30 and Player A and one other guy call. Turn is a T, no spade. Player A is first to act so he decides enough's enough and fires $100 into the $120 pot. The guy who called on the flop insta-folds, Player B thinks for a bit, and then calls. River is a Q, no spade. Player A bets out $150, Player B shoves for a little over $200 and gets called. Tables KJss for broadway.
Player A mumbles something about people chasing gut-shots, ignorant of the nut flush draw. Someone else points it out to him, and then he kind of sighed and dropped the topic, probably embarassed that he completely missed that Player B had the nut flush draw.
Although I'm sure some online guy is going to tell me Player B was a donk, I'm pretty sure that you can defend calling a nut-flush and gut-shot straight draw in position even though you're only getting 2.2 to 1 and 12 outs (well, techincally 11 but I highly doubt Player B thought the 3 of spades wasn't an out for him), unless Player A is some super-soul reader who is going to fold if your draw hit. He wasn't, and Player B got paid. Voila. Broadway over the wheel.
Cue the cool story bro people?
