Mike Patrick

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 0 ante

Seven Card Stud

Jason Papastavrou: XxXx/A♣J♠4♦9♥
Tom McCormick: XxXx/6♠J♦2♦10♥ - folded sixth street
Brad Ruben: XxXx/3♠ - folded bring-in

After Tom McCormick completed Brad Ruben's bring-in, Jason Papastavrou made it two bets to go. Ruben folded but McCormick called.

Papastavrou then bet fourth, fifth and sixth streets, with McCormick coming along until sixth when he removed his hat and rubbed his forehead, seemingly pained by the decision he faced.

After some thought, he elected to fold, sending the pot to Papastavrou.
