Wild Four-Way Stud Hand
Stud
We just witnessed the unusual phenomenon of a seven-card stud hand with 4-way action on sixth street and no showdown. On sixth street, the players boards were:
Darin Thomas:
Rep Porter:
David Bach:
George Rechnitzer:
Porter bet, and Bach called. Then Rechnitzer raised. Thomas thought for a minute before folding. Porter called, and Bach went into the tank. After a couple minutes, he eventually folded. On the river, Porter checked, Rechnitzer bet, and Porter thought for a minute before eventually folding.
David Bach, curious about what he would have drawn had he called on sixth street, politely asked Rechnitzer if he could show his river card. Rechnitzer obliged, showing the . He then also showed that he had nines full. While Rechnitzer raked in the huge pot, both Bach and Porter were surely happy with their laydowns.
