Daniel Walmsley: 10♦10♣ All in
Derek Dewitt: Q♥Q♣

The 5♠A♣ runout offered no solace to Walmsley, as his chips were passed over to Dewitt.

On seventh, it checked to Veltri for a final time who bet. Schindler immediately called, and Kessler would take around a minute before he called as well.

"Ten," Veltri announced, tabling 10x6x2x, and his ten-eight was the winner, and Veltri dragged a big one multi-way.

Brian Rast was the bring in, and Alex James on his direct left limped in. On his left, Nikolai Fal completed, and both other players called.

On fourth street, Fal led out and received two calls. He slowed down with a check on fifth, and Rast took the betting lead, with both James and Fal matching his bet.

Sixth street saw Fal take the lead again, as he moved all in for 7,000. Rast made it a full bet to go, and James called. They checked seventh street down, and all cards had to be tabled.

Rast announced two pair, but his sevens and fours were no good against the aces up of Fal. James had just ace-high, meaning Fal took down the whole pot.

Stud Games: 2,000 Ante, 2,000 Bring-In, 8,000 Completion, 8,000-16,000 Limits

Razz

Alex "Rips" James: XxXx / 5xJx6x4x / Xx
Brian Yoon: XxXx / 7xQxJxAx / Xx

Action picked up on fourth as James led and Yoon called, with James joking, "Jack is still lower than a queen, correct?"

The cash-game stream regular also led on fifth and again on sixth, with Yoon calling down.

"He's so buried! Grab a shovel. Is a six low a good hand?"

Yoon replied, "I kinda believe you actually have it now."

Nonetheless, Yoon called a final bet after James bet seventh in the dark, and he revealed 3xAx, indeed making a six on sixth as he got bets in on every street, and he maintained his integrity, for now.
