What Game Are We On Again?

[user25067]

Oops...

Stud

This one was a little peculiar...

James Van Alstyne (X)(X) {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

(X)
Erik Sagstrom (X)(X) {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

(X)

James Van Alstyne had the bring-in, Erik Sagstrom completed and Van Alstyne defended. Sagstrom led out on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets, Van Alstyne calling down.

On seventh street, Sagstrom bet out again and Van Alstyne raised. Thinking Van Alstyne had just called, Sagstrom picked up his down cards and was about to table his hand when the dealer stopped him and pointed to the raise.

As soon as Sagstrom saw the raise, he folded.

"I have a low," said Van Alstyne thinking they were playing stud 8 or better rather than stud high. He showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

.

"That was a gift" muttered Nick Schulman as Van Alstyne raked in the pot.
