Stud-8

George Danzer: (X)(X) / {3-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} / (X)
Matt Hawrilenko: (X)(X) / {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds} FOLDED
Ben "Benba" Lamb: (X)(X) / {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades} / (X)

We caught the action on fifth street, where Danzer bet out, Hawrilenko folded, and Lamb called. Danzer got the rest of his chips in on sixth street, and the hands were opened.

Danzer: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Lamb: {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Lamb was guaranteed half the pot with a made low, and could scoop with a deuce or a seven. He sweated his down-card, and it was the {7-Hearts}, giving him a seven-high straight. Danzer could still win the high with a club, and his down-card was black, but the {2-Spades} was a brick, and Danzer was eliminated.
