Delmiro Toledo: XxXx/4xAx3x10x/Xx

Brandon Shack-Harris came back from dinner break with a box of donuts that he was handing out.

While he was enjoying his snack, Delmiro Toledo bet on fifth street and Scott Bohlman called. Toledo bet again on sixth, Bohlman stuck in his last chips, and Toledo called to put him at risk.

Toledo turned over 10x7x2x for a 7-4-3-2-A and Bohlman was left with 7x4xQx as he was sent to the rail.

"Can I at least have one of those donuts," he joked with Shack-Harris before making his exit.

Heads-up on a flop of 8♥2♥6♠, Chino Rheem bet in the big blind and Scott Seiver called.

Stud Hi-Lo

John Ma's comeback attempt came up short when he busted shortly after his double up. Andrew Barber then took his old seat and found himself all in in his first hand at his new table.

Barber was all in for 21,000 against Alex Livingston and ended up with Q♠7♠7♥4♣3♥2♥2♣ for two pair. Livingston had A♣10♠9♥6♥5♠5♣4♠ showing on his board as he handed over a double up.

"Do you know what game this person busted in," Barber asked the table about the now-departed Ma.

"I thought you were asking for a suspicious reason," Livingston joked with him.
