Defending Champ Scoops with a Straight

Level 9
Qinghai Pan
Qinghai Pan

Joel Tushnet: XxXx / J6Q9 / Xx
Qinghai Pan: XxXx / 4648 / Xx
Patrick Stacey: XxXx / 6K25 / Xx
Jack Germaine: XxXx / 49K - folded on fifth street

Action picked up on fourth as Joel Tushnet, Qinghai Pan, Patrick Stacey, and Jack Germaine all contributed two bets on third.

On fourth, it checked to Pan who bet, and all three opponents called.

Pan led fifth again with open fours, Stacey called, Germaine folded, and Tushnet called.

Sixth street checked through before Pan bet again on seventh, and both opponents called. However, Pan was able to reveal 752 in the hole for an eight-high straight and a seven-six low. This was good enough to scoop, and the defending champion of this event dragged a huge one.
