Nick Schulman completed the bet with his {6-Clubs} and Isaac Haxton made it two bets. Dan Cates made it three bets and Schulman just called. Haxton made it four bets and Cates called. Schulman closed out the action on third street by just calling.

"Let's see who gets lucky," Haxton said.

Isaac Haxton: {x-}{x-}/{4-}{5-}{9-}{a-}/{x-}
Nick Schulman: {x-}{x-}/{6-}{7-}{a-}{j-}/{x-}
Dan Cates: {x-}{x-}/{2-}{6-}{Q-}{Q-}/{x-}

Haxton checked over to Cates on fourth and Cates bet. Both players called. On fifth street, Schulman stole the lead and he bet. Haxton made it two bets and both players called.

On sixth, Haxton held the betting lead and he led out Schulman and Cates both called. All three players checked on seventh. Haxton showed first, revealing his {A-}{10-}{3-} for a nine-low. Schulman then showed his {8-}{7-}{2-} for an eight-low. Cates just mucked his hand.

"That's how you do it," Schulman said as he raked in the pot. "Happy to win."

"Well it would be kinda weird if you were sad to win," Chris Vitch said after the hand.
