Deja Vu for Maier

Stud Hi/Lo:

Maier: x-x / {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {7-Clubs} / x
Van Alstyne: x-x / {4-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} / x
Marmorstein: x-x / {3-Spades} {6-Spades} {10-Spades} {3-Diamonds} / x

Yesterday, Lana Maier got a huge shot in the arm during a round of Stud Hi/Lo by scooping with a seven-high straight and a 6-low in a pot that went three-ways to the river. We can forgive her if she's feeling some deja vu because it just happened again.

We only caught the action on the river, where Maier was the first into the pot with a bet. James Van Alstyne and Phillip Marmorstein both called. Maier opened {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} for a seven-high straight and six low; Van Alstyne called a "better 7" until he realized that Maier actually made a six. He then mucked and Marmorstein also mucked, giving Maier the scoop.

She is now vying with Shannor Shorr for the chip lead at around 400,000 chips.
