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♠ All in
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.

Tyler Boyer

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jon Kyte raised to 25,000 from under the gun, and when it folded to Andreas Hole in the cutoff, he three-bet all in for his stack of 59,000. It folded back to Kyte who flipped in a chip to make the call.

Andreas Hole: A♠K♠2♥2♦ All in
Jon Kyte: A♣K♥7♣4♦

Hole was in front with his deuces, and stayed in front after the 3♥J♣J♦ flop, but the K♦ on the turn made a chop look likely, with both players holding ace-king. However, the river brought the 2♠ and Hole improved to a full house, deuces-full of jacks to secure the double up.

The flop came J♥J♠Q♣ and Hubbard called a 16,000 continuation-bet from Bayer.

Bayer continued for 38,000 on the 2♦ turn and Hubbard called again. Both players then checked the 10♦ river.

"Ace-king," Bayer said, revealing A♦K♠J♦5♣ for a Broadway straight to take the pot.

Tyler Boyer

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mathias Bayer opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 17,000, which was called by James Obst on the button, and the big blind Stephen Hubbard.

After the flop came K♠3♠3♥ the action checked to Obst, who bet out 23,000. Hubbard quickly mucked, and Bayer made the call.

The turn brought the 8♣ and once Bayer checked, Obst bet out 70,000. Bayer gave it some thought, before moving all in for his stack of 203,000, and Obst made the call.

Mathias Bayer: A♠K♦K♣10♣ All in
James Obst: A♣J♠6♦3♦

Bayer flopped a full house and would need to fade a three or a card to give Obst a low to scoop the pot. The river brought the 8♥ and he did just that, giving the double up to Bayer with kings-full of eights.
