Stud Hi-Lo
Cards were on their backs with Patrick Bueno all-in and at risk against Paul Tedeschi in Stud Hi-Lo.
Patrick Bueno: A♦7♣ / A♥3♥K♠8♦ / Xx
Paul Tedeschi: J♦J♥6♣6♦Q♣2♦ / Xx (order unclear)
The order of Tedeschi's cards was unclear, but he improved to a full house with a J♠ on seventh street. Bueno could still chop with a low, but there was salt in the wound as the A♠ improved him to trips, but it wasn't enough and he was eliminated.
