Stud-8
In the next-to-last hand before the dinner break, Norman Chad completed with the
showing, Danny Ratigan raised with the
, and Chad called. Chad led with bets on the next three streets, with Ratigan calling each time. The pair then both checked on seventh.
Ratigan had 


showing, and turned over 

for two pair, sevens and fours. Meanwhile, Chad's third through sixth had gone 


for a pair of eights, and his down cards hadn't improved his hand.
