Stud Hi-Lo
Jesse Lonis: 5♥4♠ / 5♦7♥8♥9♠ / Xx
Stanislav Ivanov: XxXx / 3♥J♠ - folded on fourth street
Kristan Lord: A♠5♠ / 6♥10♥2♥8♠ / Xx
Lord completed left of the the bring-in, Lonis called, and Ivanov defended his bring-in.
On fourth, it checked to Lonis who bet. Ivanov folded and Lord called.
Lonis bet again on fifth and he bet all-in on sixth, sending Lord into a small tank.
"You're probably drawing dead already," Lonis added as his opponent contemplated his decision, but eventually called.
Lonis had a pair of fives and an eight-seven low draw, while Lord had a made eight-six low. Lonis peeled the A♦ on seventh, which changed nothing, while Lord got the 3♠, and the pot was chopped.
"Probably had a few more outs than you were expecting," Lonis joked as the dealer split up the chips.
