Jon Kyte raised from the button and Venkata Tayi defended his big blind.

On the Q♥10♥2♣ flop, Tayi check-raised a bet from Kyte who called.

Tayi then led on the 5♦ turn and Kyte called before the 8♦ river checked through. Tayi tabled 8♥7♥ for a missed flush draw which turned into a pair as Kyte flashed the A♠ before mucking.

Stud Hi-Lo

Gisle Olsen: Q♦5♥ / Q♥2♣8♣Xx / Xx All in
Michael Block: XxXx / 7♣J♥ - folded on fourth street
Tsutomu Inoue: 6♦3♥ / 4♥2♥5♠Xx / Xx

Inoue completed, Olsen raised, Block cold-called, and Inoue called.

Olsen led on fourth, Block folded, and Inoue called. On fifth, Olsen led, Inoue raised, and Olsen called all-in.

Inoue had a made six-high straight and a six low. Olsen would need runner-runner full house to get half. Olsen caught the 6♣ on sixth and was drawing dead as Inoue caught the A♦ to improve to a wheel for the low. Seventh street was dealt as a formality as Olsen hit the rail.
