Stud Hi-Lo

Kahle Burns: XxXx / 2♣7♦5♣9♦ / Xx
Eric Wasserson: XxXx / A♥9♠5♠J♦ / Xx

Wasserson completed and Burns defended his bring-in.

Wasserson took the passive route as he check-called bets across fourth, fifth, and sixth streets.

Wasserson checked a final time on seventh before Burns frustratingly checked back as he missed his draws. Wasserson tabled A♣K♦Q♣ in the hole for a lone pair of aces which were enough for the scoop.

"When did you make the ace?" Burns inquired.

"I never made it, I just had it," Wasserson claimed.

Limit Hold'em

Immediately after Jordan Griff doubled his short stack, he was all in again in Limit Hold'em.

Three-way action to the 8♥A♥10♠ flop saw Qiang Xu check from the small blind, and Griff followed with a check in the big blind. Alexander Wilkinson fired a bet from the cutoff, with only Griff calling.

The 4♠ turn brought a bet from Griff, and a call from Wilkinson. Griff then moved his stack of less than 10,000 into the middle on the 6♦ river, and Wilkinson called.

Griff tabled A♠4♦ for two pair to double up again, while Wilkinson turned over J♠9♣ before tossing it in the muck.

Vanessa Selbst was forced all-in for 5,000 from the big blind, at risk against Bradley Jansen in the small blind.

Vanessa Selbst: 8♥7♣ All in
Bradley Jansen: A♣10♠

The A♦9♣5♠ flop gave Jansen top pair and Selbst a gutshot. However, she could not find any help on the Q♠K♥ runout as she exited in 19th.

2-7 Triple Draw

Dario Sammartino and Kahle Burns were heads-up to the final draw. Sammartino took one from the big blind, while Burns stood pat on the button.

Sammartino checked, leaving himself just 8,000 behind. Burns checked back, revealing 10x7x5x4x2x. That was good, as Sammartino mucked and lost the rest of his stack on the next hand.

Sammartino was joined on the rail by Ashish Gupta, who also lost the rest of his stack before the break.

2-7 Triple Draw

Bradley Jansen raised on the button before Vanessa Selbst slid out a three-bet in the small blind. Kahle Burns followed with a four-bet in the big blind, with only Selbst calling.

Each player drew two cards, with Selbst betting and Burns making the call. Both took one card, and Selbst check-called a bet from Burrns.

Selbst took one final card, while Burns stood pat. Selbst counted her remaining stack before committing all but 5,000 of it with a bet. Burns quickly called, and turned over 8x6x5x3x2x. That was enough to take down the pot, as Selbst instantly mucked before seeing Burns' hand.
