Long bet and Chait peeled on fourth street with a call.
Long hit an ace on fifth when big bets started. Chait found a pair of eights on fifth that was good enough for him to make the call.
Chait hit an ace of his own on sixth, Long bet once more with the best hand. Chait made the call to go to an important seventh as Chait only had five big bets behind.
Long didn't improve on seventh, but Chait did when he hit two pair. Both players checked the final street and Chait took it down.
