showing in a hand of seven-card stud, Chris Reslock ( with ) and an unknown player ( with ) splitting it between them.
The real damage to Danzer's stack came earlier, however. The Panzer's stack was decimated when his straight was rivered by a flush draw, which not only caught the required club, but a seven to make the low -- a nasty one-outer, according to my source. Ouch.
All in with the
showing, Danzer turns over 
and claims, "It's my lucky hand".Meanwhile, his opponent has three cards to the low, flipping over
, but although he initially thought he'd finally eliminated his foe with a subsequent

to earn his share of the pot.Danzer survives... just...
, he turned a Broadway straight on a 
board, bet it all the way, and eventually knocked out his opponent on the river, catapulting him to the top of the chip-leading pops.
During the break I chatted to George Danzer about that bizarre hand where the all-in gentleman had only six cards. Apparently what happened was that once he was all in on fifth street, the dealer's brain misfired in a he's-all-in-so-he-doesn't-need-any-more-cards sort of way. George also told me that the rules this year are different from last year -- last year, a player with only six cards would automatically lose the hand without having the opportunity to get a new card. If the player had hit, there might have been some disputes...

When I joined the drama, the hands were as follows:
Danzer =
Clements =
Mr X =
Now the astute members of our audience may have noticed that Mr X only has six cards, and you'd be right in your observation, as somehow he missed one of the streets.
As a result, the floor was inevitably called, with the ruling being that the burn cards would be shuffled and Mr X allocated a final card. Fortunately, Mr X, who was all in at the time, already had the low, but could have scooped the lot with an ace or a six to make a straight.
In avoidance of any potential arguments or questioning of the rules, the final card was a harmless
, meaning Mr X took the low and Clements the high with two pair.
