During a round of Omaha-8, four players see a flop of 10c5d3d, and it checked to A.J. Kelsall, who bet 12,000 from the button. John Fahmy called all in from the small blind for 11,500, Dale Schmitz called from the big blind, and Sam Sternfield called from the cutoff.

The turn card was the Qd, and all three players checked.

The river card was the 2s, Schmitz checked, and Sternfield bet 24,000. Kelsall called, and Schmitz folded.

These were their cards, in descending order of chip counts:

Sam Sternfield:  AdJh7c4c  (five-high straight, 5-4 low)
A.J. Kelsall:  As10s6s2d  (two pair, 6-5 low)
John Fahmy:  8s7h6c5h  (pair of fives, 7-6 low)

Sternfield turned over a wheel to scoop the entire pot, eliminating Fahmy in eighth place.

John Fahmy  –  Eliminated in 8th Place  ($1,161)

With seven players remaining, the average chip stack is about 192,000 (8 big bets), and the next player to bust will earn $1,421.
