Need To Brush Up On Seven Card Stud Hi-Low? PokerNews Has You Covered

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

While most of our readers are familiar with the big-bet games in poker like No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha, today's Event 4: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better will be played in a limit format and one some people may not be acquainted with.

Seven Card Stud is the most popular version of stud poker and generally played anywhere between two and eight players at a time. Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better is a split-pot variant of that game and the one that's featured in today's 5:00 PM event, an event won by Chris Viox in 2011, and an event won by Phil Ivey back in 2002.

If a player stays in until the end of a hand, he or she will receive a total of seven cards. To start, each player is dealt two cards face down followed by a third card face up. Each player would then receive three more cards face up followed by the seventh and final card face down. There is a betting round after each street and often an ante before anyone receives any cards.

To become more familiar with the action, the betting rounds and all things Seven Card Stud, head over to the PokerNews Poker Rules: Seven Card Stud page and check things out. Once you're ready to test your skills on the felt, you can **play poker online by checking out one of our many PokerNews offers.

For some more information on Seven Card Stud, along with other mixed games, check out our Learning Mixed Games with Ville Wahlbeck article. There is also a Strategy with Kristy podcast featuring Chris George where he discusses mixed games with Kristy Arnett that includes some Seven Card Stud talk, so be sure to check that out as well.

Sexton on Double Duty

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

It's worth noting that last year's runner up in this event, Mike Sexton, is pulling double duty here at the Rio. In addition to playing this event, where he is doing quite well, he was also playing the Round of 64 in Event 3: $3,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha. It was there that he managed to defeat Justin Bonomo and punch his ticket to the round of 32.

That event will recommence at 4 p.m. (You can follow the action here), so in the meantime expect Sexton to build as big a stack as possible here.

Ivey Not Going Quietly

It's been a downward day for Phil Ivey, but he's not going anywhere just yet.

Ivey got himself all in on fourth street showing {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}, and his opponent looked him up with {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs}. The cards were rolled over, and the boards were run out.

Ivey: ({7-Clubs} {2-Hearts}) / {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} / (x)
Opponent: ({A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}) / {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts} / {10-Spades}

Ivey needed to make a low or pair one of his cards to stay alive. Sure enough, he pulled the {7-Hearts} to give him sevens up and the pot.

What Happens When the Bring In is All In With the Ante?

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

That is the question that was being asked over at Table 403 when a player had his last chips in the middle from the 200 ante and had a {3-Diamonds} out in front of him, which would have been the bring in. The players weren't quite sure and speculated as they waited for a floor to arrive. The consensus seemed to be that there would be no bring in and the next player to act would have the same options as if it had been brought in, though a few thought the next lowest card, which in this case was the {4-Diamonds}, might be forced to bring it in.

When the floor finally arrived, he wasn't quite sure of the answer and went to verify with another floor. During this time the players came to the conclusion that there would be no bring in and that the making the next lowest card to bring it in would be unjust. "Why should he get punished?" one player asked.

Much to their surprise, the floor returned and said the rule is that the next lowest card would become the bring in. The players didn't seem to agree, but didn't put up much of a fuss. Unfortunately for the man who was all in with his ante, he ran into aces up and was eliminated from the tournament.
