On sixth, Barlow picked up the betting again, but Kalas put in the second bet. Barlow made the call.

On seventh, Barlow check-called another bet from Kalas.

"What do you got?" asked Barlow.

"Flush," said Kalas.

"What kind of flush?" followed up Barlow.

Kalas made clear he had the ace-high variety and Barlow showed he had a king-high flush that was no good.

On seventh, the players both checked, and Negreanu showed he had nothing more than his two pair after missing a low, but Chung mucked his hand, sending the pot to Negreanu with his eights and fives.

Action picked up on sixth street in a heads-up pot. Loube bet and Deeb made the call.

Seventh was dealt and Loube bet again. Deeb looked at seventh and put in the second bet, which Loube called.

"Flush and a low," said Deeb as he turned over his cards.

"How low is your low?" asked Loube.

"A bad eight, you're going to have a better low," replied Deeb.

"I don't have a low," said Loube who looked back at his hand.

"Sorry, I thought you said how low is your low," said Deeb.

"I did, I just wanted to know if my low draw was good," clarified Loube.

It would have been, but it didn't come in and Deeb scooped the whole pot.

Action picked up after fourth street with Ian O'Hara all in and John Monnette and Andrew Brown had action on the side. There wasn't much action on fourth, fifth, or sixth streets as both players checked all streets.

"Alright," said O'Hara, hopeful that he could get a piece of the pot neither player was betting at.

On seventh, though, Monnette bet and Brown called.

"Sixty-four low," said Monnette.

"Kings up," said Brown.

"I need a diamond," said O'Hara who peeled seventh to try and survive. He found nothing but bricks, though, and he was eliminated.

Eric Kurtzman: {4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}/{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Peter Gelencser: {x-}{x-}/{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}/{x-}

With several bets already in the middle of the table on fourth street, Eric Kurtzman bet and was called by both David Funkhouser and Peter Gelencser.

Fifth street saw Funkhouser take over the betting lead. He did so, but was immediately raised by Kurtzman. After some deliberation, Gelencser decided to call the two big bets, and Funkhouser called as well.

On sixth street, Kurtzman now showed queen-high on board to regain the betting lead. He bet and was called again in both spots as a massive pot was brewing.

After Kurtzman bet a final time on seventh street, Gelencser folded, but now Funkhouser came with the raise.

Kurtzman scratched his head and gave his decision some pause before coming back with a three-bet. Funkhouser tossed in a call and the cooler was revealed.

Kurtzman showed a full house of fours full of threes, but Funkhouser showed a better full house of sevens full of jacks to scoop the huge pot.
