Glen returned after a two-month hiatus and brought Toblerone chocolate for everyone to celebrate the birth of his son Thomas on August 9. Congratulations, Glen!
Without Mary, Bill, and Mike Stefanidis in attendance, Four-Three produced yawn-inducing results. Paul called the game twice, and both times the pot never grew beyond its initial total.
There was an interesting result on one hand. Jeff and Paul were the last two players to act, and everyone had folded ahead of them. Jeff declared he was in, and of course Paul declared he was in as well. They both turned over fantastic starting hands for low, each with a 7-high and an ace in his hand. Jeff got his remaining three cards and improved to a 6-high for low and just an ace-jack for high. Although it was unlikely Paul would be able to beat Jeff for low, all Paul had to do was draw a king, a queen, or pair any of his cards and he’d win high. Paul got his remaining cards, and unbelievably none of them helped. Paul was playing a 7-high for low, and just an ace-10 for high. Jeff scooped the pot. Luckily for Paul, the pot was only $6.75.
Mark DeVol called Stud 8 tonight, which is Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo where the low has to be 8-high or lower. It seemed to be popular with the group and produced some pretty big pots.
