Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo

After having lost the previous big pot, Jason Gray got the remainder of his stack in after 5th street and chip leader James Obst called.

Obst: {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} / {8-Spades}
Gray: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} / {5-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} / {9-Spades}

Gray's four card low failed to find any help and his pair of deuces was no good for the hi pot either, awarding the pot to Obst with a pair of sixes and no lo.

After the hand, both remaining players went on a 10-minute break.
