We picked up the action on fifth street when Barry Greenstein bet and was called by John Hennigan. Nicholas Verkaik raised and Greenstein called off the rest of his chips. Hennigan raised into Verkaik and he called. On sixth street Hennigan bet and Verkaik called. Both players checked seventh and the hands were exposed.

Hennigan turned up {Q-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} giving him threes full of sixes for the high while Verkaik showed {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} {8-Diamonds} which gave him the winning low.

Greenstein, however, showed the table {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs} and quickly made a beeline to the exit.

David Benyamine was the bring in and Huck Seed called. Another player at the table completed and both players called. All three checked fourth street and Benyamine bet out on fifth. Seed called and the other player folded. Benyamine bet on sixth and seventh and received calls from seed both times.

Benyamine showed a {10-Clubs} and {7-Clubs} while flinging the recently drawn {9-Spades} on the table as well. Benyamine's flush and seventy-six was good enough for a scoop.

Benjamin Lukas brought in and Norman Chad completed. Doyle Brunson decided to tag along and Lukas called as well. Chad bet on fourth and fifth street, with both players checking sixth.
