Back From the Muck
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Scott Fitzhugh grabbed his backpack and tossed his hand in the muck, fully expecting to accept his payout.
But he was called back to the table by an observant opponent, who informed the dealer that Fitzhugh should take half the pot with the best low hand on a board of J♣6♦4♣A♦3♠.
Scott Fitzhugh: A♠8♣4♥2♠
Ronnie Tate: 7♦5♣4♦3♣
Ronnie Tate had the high locked up with his straight to the seven. At first glance, Fitzhugh's low appeared to be counterfeited by pairing the ace and four, but his six-low was better than the seven-low Tate held.
