Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Schuyler Thornton started with the {a-Diamonds} and apparently thought he won the pot without contest because he turned over his other two cards: {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Problem was, Another player had entered with the {7-Clubs} and Thornton didn't see it. The supervisor arrived and said it was a live hand so play proceeded. Thornton picked up four to a wheel on fifth and bet, and his opponent called, then they checked sixth.

Thornton: {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}/{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}/{x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-}/{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{j-Clubs}/{x-}

Thornton bet the river to put his opponent all in. The player called with a pair of jacks but Thornton had made a wheel with his lone down card, the {4-Hearts}.

"You know, I'm supposed to give you a penalty," the supervisor said. "But I think the disadvantage you gave yourself was enough."
