It seems that every H.O.R.S.E. tournament, at some point along the way someone will play the wrong game. So it was at Red 368 a few moments ago. We picked up the action on sixth street, where Robert Williamson III got his last 2,100 into the pot and was called by Darus Suharto and Dale Phillips. On seventh street, Suharto checked his open aces to Phillips. Phillips bet and, after a lengthy tank, Suharto folded.
At showdown for the main pot, Phillips opened 
in the hole and started pushing together cards to make an 8-low. He suddenly looked down at the game plaque on the table and realized the game was stud! Williamson gladly opened 
in the hole for two pair, kings and nines. That was obviously better than Phillips' pair of sixes, giving Williamson new life.
