The G Scoops Cassidy

Stud 8/b:

Tony G (X) (X) {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} (X)
Joe Cassidy (X) (X) {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades} (X)

We picked this hand up on fourth street just as Tony G put out a bet. It earned folds from Phil Hellmuth and Robert Williamson III, but Joe Cassidy came along with a call. Cassidy check-called bets from The G on fifth and sixth streets, then paid him off on the river.

The G turned over {3-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a seven-high straight. It was good for the high and the low and he scooped the pot. He's up to 75,000 while Cassidy fell to 165,000.
