Stud Hi-Lo

Mercier: {X-}{X-} / {5-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades} / {X-}
Sexton: {X-}{X-} / {8-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Spades} / {X-}

On fourth street, Jason Mercier bet with ace-five showing, and Mike Sexton called. Mercier checked fifth street to Sexton, who bet. Mercier called and also check-called on sixth street.

Mercier bet out on seventh street and Sexton called. Much to everyone's surprise, Mercier flipped up {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a Broadway straight. Sexton showed {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for trip eights, which was second best, and had to surrender the pot to Mercier.

"Starts with ace-five, comes up with Broadway," chuckled Mike Matusow.
