Just came 2nd in an omaha limit mtt. It helped getting a Royal Flush (my first ever) and then not long after hit quad queens, but then that's the luck you need sometimes. I made the ft in good shape but the big stack continued to dominate all the way through and heads up he was on about 160,000 against my 20,000 on 4k/8k blinds. Well a raise or two when I didn't have a hand and it was all over. He got lucky on the last hand though, hitting a jack on the river to give him a pair. I held pocket 7's in my hand and was ahead until this point.
Very happy with 2nd though, not only another final table, but my best Stars place finish to date.

Not so much hitting the quad queens but also having the best lo hand to scoop the pot - thats the trick with omaha hi/lo, SCOOPING.
So many times you see people just playing a hand with A2 and no high potential - and getting stuck when no lo hand appears, many times you see people playing good high only hands but losing half the pot or winning their money back when a lo hand comes on board.
If i remember this time last year you were celebrating your first hold'em mtt win - now close with your first omaha h/l win, should we pencil you in for next years WPT event at Atlantis??? ;o)
Cheers,
I was looking back at the hand and thought I played it quite well actually. I love the low hand there, possibly more than the quads. It's just the icing on the cake really that I didn't even expect.
Atlantis - I would love to go :)
Cheers Matt
