Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Avinash Kataria: XxXx/2♠5♣3♣4♣/Xx
Jay Hong: XxXx/A♠8♣J♠Q♦/Xx
Adam Friedman: XxXx/A♦7♣4♠8♠/Xx

Avinash Kataria bet on sixth street into a three-way pot and Jay Hong called. Adam Friedman then went into the tank as he had only a few chips behind.

Friedman continued to tank for several minutes as tablemates John Kabbaj and Barbara Enright reminisced about playing each other in a tournament back in 1996. "Sorry guys," Friedman said before he called for most of his stack.

Kataria moved all in on seventh and Hong quickly called. Friedman also called and Kataria showed 8♥6♠2♥ for a straight and a low.

"What the f**k," Friedman said as he shot out of his seat to look at Kataria's board before mucking, leaving himself just around 10,000 behind as the money bubble draws near.

Chad Eveslage completed while Leonard August and Shirley Rosario called.

Leonard August: XxXx/3♥2♠3♠K♠/Xx
Chad Eveslage: XxXx/10♣7♣5♥6♦/Xx
Shirley Rosario: XxXx/2♣K♥ (Folded on fourth)

On fourth street, Rosario checked to Eveslage who bet which only August called.

Fifth street saw August bet and Eveslage called and the same action repeated on sixth street.

Seventh street saw August check call a bet from Eveslage.

"Tens up," declared Eveslage as he turned over 10♦8♣8♦ for tens and eights.

It was rendered second best as August turned over A♥Q♥3♣ for a set of threes and he took a rather large pot from Eveslage to put him in chip lead contention.
