Bryan Colin ({K-Spades})({K-Diamonds}){Q-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} (?)

Joe Cassidy completed on third street, Bryan Colin raised and Cassidy called. Cassidy led on fourth street, Colin raised and Cassidy called. Cassidy check-called a bet from Colin on fifth street. He checked again on sixth, Colin bet his last 3,200 and Cassidy called.

I could win this thing standing up
I could win this thing standing up
Stud-8

Doyle Brunson (X)(X) {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} (X)
Nick Schulman (X)(X) {3-Spades} {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {K-Spades} (X)

The sight of Nick Schulman playing a hand while standing up drew us over to his table-- the $10K Deuce-to-Seven bracelet winner was in fact chair-less and was waiting for one to be brought over for him.

Schulman and Brunson went all the way to the river, Brunson betting out on seventh street, Schulman putting in a raise and Brunson making the call.

Schulman turned over {4-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {7-Spades} for a seven-high straight and a 6-5-4-3-A low to scoop the pot, leaving Big Papa with a none-too-pleased look on his face.

Catching the action on fourth street, Greg Raymer was leading the betting with Erick Lindgren making the call.

On fifth, Raymer fired again before Lindgren raised. Raymer made the call and then check-called on sixth and seventh.

Lindgren tabled {2-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for queens and deuces which was good as Raymer mucked.

They took a flop of {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Sointula bet. Kravchenko raised. Sointula reraised and Kravchenko called.

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and Sointula fired again with Kravchenko making the call. The river was the {J-Diamonds} and both players checked it down.

Sointula - 261,000
Kravchenko - 270,000
