Some drama today at the 1/2 PLO at Tampa Hard Rock
A player flopped quad 2's with a 9. In PLO we HAVE to flop our high hand to qualify for the high hand payout
The river was an Ace, so they refused to qualify his high hand because the hand changed to quad 2's with an Ace.
But because he didn't FLOP that Ace kicker, they say they have to count his highest hand, and can't pay the high hand because his highest hand came on the river
My belief was that they should just put quad 2's with the 9 kicker as his hand on the board
Thoughts?
