Action in Stud Eight

Stud 8/b:

James Obst is the bring in with the {2-Diamonds}. Mark Vos raises the {5-Clubs}, and Billy the Croc reraises showing the {5-Diamonds}. Obst four-bets it, and both opponents call.

Obst: (X-X) {2-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {K-Spades} (X)
Vos: (X-X) {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} (X)
Argyros: (X-X) {5-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} (X)

On fourth street, Obst bet and Vos called. The Croc raised, and Obst reraised. Vos cold-called both bets and The Croc capped it. Both Obst and Vos called once more.

On fifth, Argyros bet, and both opponents called.

On sixth and seventh streets, both men called bets from Argyros again. After the most action-packed Stud 8/b hand yet, the cards were shown down:

Obst: {2-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {K-Spades} ({A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Spades})
Vos: {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} ({7-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs})
Argyros: {5-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} ({A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {3-Spades})

Billy The Croc scoops the pot with a pair of aces for the high and an eighty-five low. He is up to 11,800, Vos is down to 16,400, and James Obst is crippled all the way back to 1,400.
