Siegel Keeps Building

Stud-8

Siegel: X-X / {4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / X
Juanda: X-X / {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{k-Clubs} FOLD
Opponent: X-X / {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} / X
Johns: X-X / {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} FOLD

The split-pot games have the tendency to swell pots as multiple players go multiple streets looking to catch at least half of the pot. A four-way pot was just played at Jordan Siegel's table, with Siegel taking home half of it.

Mark Johns was the player who completed third street, with Siegel, John Juanda and a third player all calling. Johns checked the lead on fourth street, allowing Siegel the opportunity to bet. All players called the bet.

On fifth street the fourth player in the hand made an open pair of queens. His bet was called by Johns before Siegel's raise drove Juanda out of the pot. The fourth player called and Johns also called.

The fourth player led again on sixth street. He folded Johns out of the pot, then had to call a raise from Siegel. Siegel bet seventh and was called, turning up {3-} {4-} {5-} for a straight-seven and a 6-5 low. The low was good, of course, but the high half was overtaken by the lone remaining player in the pot, who showed a full house. Chop it up!

Siegel is up to 114,000. Johns is quite healthy as well, with 96,000, while Juanda's 66,000 puts him above par.
