Someone asked if indeed Baxter hand won seven bracelets in lowball. He has, having won five in deuce-to-seven games (1975, 1978, 1982, 1987, 1993), one in ace-to-five (1982), and another in razz (2002).
"Yeah, but when he won 'em, only two people played lowball," cracked Davis.
Baxter is at 12,100 currently, while Davis has 16,200.
Each player drew one card on the second draw. Again action checked to the button, and again he bet. That induced one fold, but Hellmuth raised. The first player called. All three remaining players stood pat on the third draw. Hellmuth quickly moved all of his chips in the middle and declared, "All in." His opponent called just as quickly, but it was bad news for him: Hellmuth had made 7-6-5-3-2. The opponent showed an 7-6-5-4-2, knocked the table "good hand," and packed up. The other all-in player turned over a ten and also stood up from the table.
After the hand, Hellmuth was up to about 11,000.
