I dont usualy play Omaha, or if i do its on some Horse or Omaha freeroll, but the winning straight should have been Queen high, right? I don't know much of Omaha, but combinations are two from the hand and three from the table. So, if there was no 10 on the table, Lrslzk layed with Q10 from the hand and J98 from the table. And FIN must have really been waiting for 8, not expecting that Lrslzk could have something higher.
------------ Sorry, i have a closer look to the cards now and get it, late... Q10 from hand plus KJ9 from table made straight King high. Ok, sorry. Btw, loosing $150k and then winning it is nice and its high stakes, but arent this values low compared with other high stakes pros, like Sahamies or even Blom? Those guys usually mess with $300k, $400k...

@ pochui, lol, those memories are great. Reading you remembered me of my participation, last year, in a $11 tourney, where i managed to play for 1h30 and unfortunately, came out with no prize. That night and the next 15 days after that were very difficult for me, my mind was stuck into "why did my KK all-in didnt won against A6 off? How can A6 give a call to a tripled starting chips amount?". I only got through with it after start winning some SnG's in a row for several days at another poker room.
