Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Three-handed on a flop of 5♥9♣3♠, Eric Baldwin bet from the button and Michael Spegal called in the big blind, as did Tom McCormick in the cutoff.

Baldwin bet again on the 8♥ turn and Spegal called. "I don't like this table," McCormick, who had only recently moved here, said as he got out of the way.

The river was the 4♥ and Baldwin put out another bet. Spegal again called and Baldwin showed A♦K♠3♦2♣ for a wheel to scoop the pot.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Jonathan Glendinning opened under the gun and was called by Jonathan Krela in the small blind and Gina Hecht in the big blind.

Krela and Hecht took one and Glendinning was pat. The action checked to Glendinning after the draw and he bet 60,000 with just 12,000 back. Krela quickly folded before Hecht went deep into the tank, but she eventually landed on call.

Jonathan Glendinning: 7x7x4x2x2x
Gina Hecht: 10x6x5x3x2x

Glendinning was bluffing with relevant blockers and Hecht made the right call with her ten to scoop a big one and leave Glendinning on crumbs.

Limit Hold'em

"Another old person's game," Stephen O'Dwyer said as Limit Hold'em was chosen.

"I don't even know what that is. Oh wait, when we play H.O.R.S.E., that's the game I go to the bathroom on," Bruce Walters added.

O'Dwyer then opened in the cutoff and Dan Zack reraised on the button. O'Dwyer put in another raise and Zack called.

The flop came 9♠9♣2♣ and O'Dwyer checked to Zack who bet. O'Dwyer called to the 4♣ turn, where Zack bet again. O'Dwyer folded this time and Zack took down the big pot.

Seven Card Stud

"There should be a tournament for these old people games," Stephen O'Dwyer said at the start of the Stud round.

"But we need a better name for it. Maybe Vintage Choice," a tournament official added.

Bruce Walters: XxXx/A♣K♠10♣5♥/Xx
Brad Ruben: XxXx/4♦3♦7♥9♥/Xx
Dan Zack: XxXx/Q♠2♠3♣10♦/Xx

Bruce Walters then bet on fifth street, and both Brad Ruben and Dan Zack called. Walters bet again on sixth and both opponents called once more.

All three players checked on seventh, and Walters showed A♠K♦3♥ for aces and kings to win the pot.

"See, this is what happens when you let these old people play Stud. They beat up on the young guys," O'Dwyer said after the hand.

"Two again, kid?" Schreiber said, and Krela did end up drawing two. Schreiber stood pat and bet, while Krela took a minute before folding.
