Stud Hi-Lo
Calvin Anderson: XxXx / 4♠7♠5♣8♦ / Xx
John Veltri: XxXx / 10♠A♥10♥7♣ / Xx
Josh Arieh: XxXx / 3♥9♥8♠ - folded on fifth street
Anderson completed, Veltri raised, Arieh cold-called from the bring-in, and Anderson came along.
"Let's play a big one, boys!" Arieh exclaimed as the dealer pulled in the bets.
Fourth street was checked through before Veltri led fifth with open tens, and only Anderson called.
Veltri would then check-call on sixth before seventh checked through. Anderson tabled Q♦7♦3♦ in the hole for a pair of sevens with a low, and Veltri had 10♣4♦2♥ for trip tens to get half, and a potentially big pot was rather inconsequential after all.
