Jeremy Ausmus: XxXx / A♣7♣8♠6♠ / Xx
Yueqi Zhu: A♦5♣ / 3♥J♣4♣2♥ / 3♦

By the time fifth street showed, Yueqi "Rich" Zhu and Jeremy Ausmus tried to figure out how many chips should be out in front which was then supposed to be 140,000 total as Chino Rheem mentioned Zhu had three-bet on third street. One bet each went in after that with Ausmus calling down and Rheem predicted Zhu to reveal "ace-five of hearts".

The suits were wrong but Zhu had the wheel to scoop the pot.

Seven Card Stud

Ryutaro Suzuki completed, Arthur Morris raised, and Suzuki called.

Ryutaro Suzuki: XxXx / 7♣3♦Q♥4♦ / Xx
Arthur Morris: XxXx / K♥7♠5♣9♠ / Xx

Morris led on fourth and Suzuki called. He led again on fifth, Suzuki raised, and Morris called again.

On sixth, Morris check-called a bet, and Suzuki bet a final time on seventh. Morris did not like the situation but he decided to flick in the call after some deliberation. However, Suzuki could only show K♣5♠4♣ in the hole for the lone pair of fours.

Morris was able to reveal K♦10♦2♣, and his pair of kings was the winner.

Suzuki was left with 30,000 at the end of the hand, and he lost it to his compatriot Naoya Kihara the following hand, also in Stud.

Yueqi Zhu: A♥2♠ / 2♥3♠9♥J♦ / 5♦

Chino Rheem completed and Yueqi Zhu defended his bring in. "You always have a deuce to call," Rheem joked and then bet the next two streets for Zhu to call. Once they checked sixth street, Rheem bet again seventh street and Zhu reluctantly called.

"A pair of deuces is good, I have no pair," Rheem said and Zhu indeed showed a pair of deuces which scooped the entire pot.

"Jesus Christ," Luke Schwartz exclaimed and Zhu then explained that Rheem has been torturing him "for twenty five years".

Stud Hi-Lo

Josh Arieh limped, Matt Grapenthien limped, Qinghai Pan completed, Julien Sitbon called, and both limpers called.

Josh Arieh: XxXx / 10♠J♠ - folded on fourth street
Matt Grapenthien: XxXx / A♦8♥K♦6♠ - folded on sixth street
Qinghai Pan: XxXx / A♠2♣5♠3♦ / Xx
Julien Sitbon: XxXx / Q♦J♣4♦K♠ / Xx - folded on seventh street

Grapenthien checked to Pan on fourth who bet. Sitbon called, Arieh quickly folded, and Grapenthien called.

Pan bet again on fifth, getting two calls. The same happened on sixth, but this time Grapenthien let go of his hand after a minute's tank.

On seventh, Pan put out a final bet, and Sitbon shook his head and quickly folded, likely having missed some draws as Pan scoops a big one without showdown.
