Full House and Half for Allen

When we arrived at Allen Cunningham's table it was showdown time during a Stud Hi/Low hand and Cunningham and one player were busy showing their hands.

Cunningham: {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Cunningham's opponent held a wheel, but Cunningham's full house was strong enough to take down the high end of the pot.

Lind wins Half to Almost Double

Stud Hi/Low

When we came to George Lind's table, he was committing the last of his chips on fourth street and two opponents were still involved in the hand, including Eli Elezra.

Lind: (x-x) {4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} (x)
Elezra: (x-x) {3-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} fold
Opponent: (x-x) {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} (x)

Lind watched on as Elezra and the other player committed a bet on fifth street, with Elezra folding on sixth street.

Lind's {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} in the hole was good enough to make him a seven-five low to take down half the pot, while his opponent's {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} was good for two-pair and the high half of the pot.

"Only win half the pot and i practically double," said Lind as he took down the small amount of chips to survive.

More Chip Counts

Mercier Chipping Up

Omaha Hi-Low

Jason Mercier opened up the action and received the call from the player on the button. The dealer then readied three cards.

Flop: {j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Mercier checked on the flop and his opponent committed the last of his chips. Mercier made the call and the two players turned their hands over.

Mercier: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Mercier was in great shape to pick up some chips and it would stay that way as the {4-Hearts} hit the turn and the {3-Hearts} landed on the river.

Chippies!

Williams Loses Some

Stud:

When we arrived at David Williams' table a player was busy bringing it in with a {5-Hearts} showing. A player two to his left flicked in the call with a {j-Spades} out in front of him and a flurry of cards were sent into the muck from around the table. It was then on Williams and he completed with a {j-Clubs} showing. The bring-in folded and the other player called.

Williams: (x-x) / {j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts} / (x)
Opponent: (x-x) / {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades} / (x)

Williams led on fourth and fifth street and both players checked on sixth and seventh. When Williams' opponent turned over his {10-}{10-}{j-} in the hole, Williams' cards would go into the muck and portion of his chips to his opponent.
