Poker rules explained

Can a player be eliminated by receiving only one quarter of an Omaha eight-or-better pot?

Direct answer

No, not if the all-in player receives a positive share of the pot. Winning one quarter of a qualifying Omaha Hi/Lo pot leaves that player with chips, even if the net result of the hand is a loss. They could be eliminated in a later hand.

How to use this answer

This answer is based on the mathematical principle or published rule identified in the source below. If the question involves a live betting market, confirm its settlement definition before applying it to a specific bet.

Yes if the amount received is insufficient to match the chips lost in the hand; split the high and low pools correctly.

Tournament rules are a useful reference, but a home game or cash game can have different house rules. Make the chip amounts, action sequence and card visibility clear before deciding a disputed hand.
