Stud Hi-Lo

On the direct bubble, Noah Bronstein moved his last 6,000 into the middle and Jose Paz-Gutierrez's stack followed into the middle. Matt Glantz and Daniel Zack both made the call.
Glantz led out on fourth and fifth streets, with Zack calling both bets. Both players checked through sixth and seventh, and all four hands were turned up.
Paz-Gutierrez made a full house to claim the main pot, while Glantz and Zack chopped the side pot. Bronstein was left with trip fives and no low, ending his tournament on the stone bubble.
The remaining 32 players all earned at least $20,000, with action no longer hand-for-hand.
