Stud Hi-Lo

Action was briefly summarized by the table as four bets had gone in one street before. The pot contained well over 600k in chips.

Andrew Yeh: XxXx/8♣K♣K♥K♦/Xx
Denis Strebkov: XxXx/7♦7♠2♦10♥/Xx
Patrice Boudet: XxXx/2♠3♥4♠2♥/Xx

Yeh checked on seventh street and Strebkov bet which saw Boudet raise. Yeh went into the tank as he pondered what to do with his final chips.

"It is so absurd to fold this here," he lamented as he looked up at the clock. After some time he tossed his hand into the muck and Strebkov called.

Boudet tabled 8♥6♠5♥ for a six-low and a six-high straight. Strebkov turned over 7♥7♣5♣ for four sevens which was good for the high half of the pot.
