On fifth street, Kalas bet his remaining chips and Sammartino called to put him at risk.

Kalas tabled kings in the hole, but Sammartino revealed his was rolled up with eights.

Kalas's board failed to improve him and Sammartino collected the rest of his chips.

Limit Hold’em

Maxx Coleman raised from the hijack and was called by Christina Hill in the big blind.

Hill check-called bets from Coleman on the 4♠K♥10♠ flop, J♠ turn, and 4♣ river.

Coleman turned over A♥A♦ for aces-up and Hill showed she held K♠J♣ for an inferior two pair.

"You sucked out!" Hill said jokingly.

"At least you can afford it," Coleman responded.

Action was picked up on fifth as Guagenti checked, Kupin bet, Cozen called, Guagenti raised, and both opponents called.

Cozen led with open eights on sixth, Guagenti raised, Kupin cold-called, and Cozen called.

It checked to Kupin on seventh who bet and both opponents called. "Flush and low," announced Kupin as he tabled his jack-high flush and eight-seven low, which was enough to scoop the entire pot.

"Red four on seventh was ideal," joked Kupin as he dragged the pot.

Akhavi led out for a bet after pairing his ten on fourth street and everyone called.

On fifth street, Akhavi bet again, which got calls from Condon and Clotar, but a fold from Benson.

Akhavi continued betting on sixth street and both Condon and Clotar called.

On seventh street, Akhavi bet once more and Condon called. Clotar raised and both Akhavi and Condon called.

Clotar turned over A♦K♦2♦ for the low and Akhavi revealed 10♥7♥2♥ for trip tens and the high. Condon sent his hand into the muck and the pot was chopped.

Razz

Koji Fujimoto: XxXx / Ax8x9xJx / Xx - folded on seventh street
Yueqi Zhu: XxXx / 5xKx7x3x / Xx

Zhu completed, Fujimoto raised, and Zhu called. Fujimoto led on fourth which Zhu quickly called.

On fifth, Fujimoto led again and Zhu raised, which raised some eyebrows from the table as he was showing a less promising board as Fujimoto called.

Zhu must have known what was coming on sixth as he caught well and Fujimoto caught poorly as he check-called a bet.

Fujimoto check-folded to a bet on seventh, as Zhu revealed an additional 5x from his hole cards.

2-7 Single Draw

Andrew Brown opened on the button and just behind him, Gabriel Ramos shoved for his last 9,400 from the small blind. It was folded back to Brown, who called to put Ramos at risk.

Ramos stood pat and Brown drew one.

Gabriel Ramos: 10x9x7x6x3x All in
Andrew Brown: 9x7x3x2x

Brown tossed his draw face up on the table, which happened to be an 8x — giving Brown a nine to eliminate Ramos.

Jon Turner: XxXx / A♥10♠4♣7♠ / Xx
Daniel Blum: 7♥5♣ / 8♦4♠3♠2♣ / Q♠

Turner completed first to act, Blum called in middle position, and Kenney defended his bring in.

Turner checked on fourth, Blum bet, and both opponents called.

On fifth, Blum bet again, Kenney raised, Turner cold-called, and Blum called. On sixth, Blum bet again and both called to see seventh.

It checked to Kenney on seventh who peeked his cards and announced, "I have an emergency high," as he checked back. Blum revealed his seven low which was good for half while Kenney's tens were enough for the high and Turner mucked.
