Alba Has the Bigger Pair
Level 14
: Limits 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Yingui Li: XxXx/5♠Q♠6♣5♣/Xx
Gary Bolden: XxXx/4♣6♦9♠6♥ - folded on sixth street
Jorge Alba: XxXx/8♦8♥K♥Q♣/Xx
Bolden completed, with Li and Alba coming along before all three checked fourth and fifth streets.
Sixth street saw a bet from Alba. Li called, with Bolden letting his hand go.
Both players then checked seventh street. Li turned over J♠8♠2♣ for a pair of fives with no low. Alba also had no low, but his pair of eights were good enough to scoop the pot before he showed 10♣5♦2♦.
