Stud-8

Oleksii Kovalchuk completed with the {8-Spades} showing, George Danzer raised with the {6-Spades} up, and Kovalchuk called. Danzer picked up the {10-Clubs} on fourth and checked, and Kovalchuk bet after getting the {5-Hearts} . Danzer called.

Both players picked up face cards on fifth, Danzer checked, Kovalchuk bet, Danzer raised, and Kovalchuk called with his remaining chips.

Kovalchuk: {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs} / {8-Spades} {5-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Danzer: {A-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} / {6-Spades} {10-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

Danzer drew the {A-Spades} on sixth for aces while Kovalchuk was dealt the {J-Spades} . Seventh street was dealt face down, and Danzer quickly flipped up his non-improving {Q-Spades} . Kovalchuk squeezed his... the {4-Clubs} ! He'd made a straight to grab the high and a low to boot, and doubled up.
