The split-pot games seem to generate the most action in H.O.R.S.E. and, at this stage, the most eliminations. Loi Tran, Dale Phillips and Alexandre Luneau played a three-way pot all the way to showdown. Luneau bet every street until Tran was all in on sixth. Luneau and Phillips then checked down the river.
At showdown, Phillips table for queens and deuces, which was good for the high half. Luneau tabled , which made a 7-4 for low. Both hands left Tran's , a pair of eights and a 7-6, as "monkey in the middle". Phillips and Luneau split Tran's chips while Tran headed off to the cage.
