Chop It Up!

Level 1 : 200/400, 50 ante

David Singer: {X-}{X-} / {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} / {X-}{X-}
Mike Sexton: {X-}{X-} / {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} / {X-}{X-}
Third Player: {X-}{X-} / {3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better is a split-pot game, so many hands are going to be chopped. Reporting on them isn't overly exciting, but you never know what you're going to get at the start of a hand.

For example, we recently watched a hand over at Table 384 that involved Poker Hall of Famer and David Singer. It began with a player bringing it in with a {2-} and Singer completing with the {A-Clubs} showing. An unknown played called, Sexton did the same and then the bring-in folded. Two checks on fourth street saw Sexton bet, Singer call and the third player folded.

Singer proceeded to check-call bets on fifth, sixth and seventh and Sexton threw up his hands before tabling his cards.

Sexton: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Singer: {6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Sexton had a low and missed his bevy of outs for a high, meaning he won half the pot with the low and Singer took the other half with a pair of queens.
