Omaha Hi-Lo
In four way action to the 10♦7♦6♣3♦ turn, Bryan Micon bet in the cutoff and Thomas Stinson check-called in the small blind while the other two players folded. The duo then checked the 10♥ on the river and Micon tabled his A♠K♦6♥4♣. Stinson exposed his A♣K♣J♠4♦ and they chopped it up for both the high and low.
Seven-Card Stud
Frederik Brink: A♣K♠6♣ / 5♥5♣6♠8♦
Todd Brenn: XxXx / K♣J♣10♠9♣ / Xx
Frederik Brink check-called on fifth and sixth street with his open pair of fives versus Todd Brenn. He then check-called seventh and Brenn briefly flashed his cards but had missed his straight draw for Brink to win the pot.
Seven-Card Stud
Action was picked up on fourth street in a hand between Walter Chambers and Ian Gavlick
Walter Chambers: XxXxXx / Q♣J♣7♠3♥
Ian Gavlick: K♦7♦3♠ / 3♦K♥9♣8♣
Gavlick check-called on fourth, fifth, and sixth.
On seventh street, Gavlick check-raised and Chambers reluctantly called. Gavlick revealed kings and threes to drag an early pot.
Seven-Card Stud
Bruno Portaro: XxXx / 3♠9♦10♣ folded on fifth street
Pedro Zuccarato: 10♥8♥2♥ / 5♥7♣J♠A♥
James Van Alstyne: XxXx / J♦9♠6♦5♦ / Xx
James Van Alstyne called and so did Bruno Portaro and Pedro Zuccarato. Van Alstyne bet his lead until fifth street on which Portaro folded and Zuccarato called. Zuccarato then check-called sixth and check-raised seventh. Van Alstyne called but mucked when his opponent announced a flush.
