Seven Card Stud

Philip Long: / /
Andrew Yeh: / /

Philip Long was not going to wait long to get his short stack and did so after completing with an ace in the hole and a queen showing. Andrew Yeh only had king-ten in the hole and failed to improve on fourth and fifth.

However, he came through with the long shot and paired a king on sixth while his rival had one overcard and a gutshot at his disposal.

Neither player improved and that spelled the end for Long in third place, for which he takes home a payday of $209,424.
