During a round of Razz, David Shmuel had the bring-in with the Qc. Charles Odenz called, and Aaron Kupin called.

David Shmuel:  (X-X)  QxJx8x
Charles Odenz:  (X-X)  2x8x3x
Aaron Kupin:  (X-X)  3x6x7x

4th Street:  All three players checked.

5th Street:  Kupin bet 20,000, Shmuel folded, and Odenz raised. Kupin called all in for 27,000.

Charles Odenz:  (6x6x)  2x8x3x
Aaron Kupin:  (AxJx)  3x6x7x

Kupin was ahead with a jack high to the pair of sixes for Odenz, and Kupin’s 7-6 draw was ahead of Odenz’s 8-6 draw. But then the dealer dealt the final two cards.

Charles Odenz:  (6x6x)  2x8x3x5x  (Ax)

Kupin was in trouble when he picked up a pair of jacks on sixth street as Odenz made an 8-6 low. Then Odenz picked up an ace on seventh street for a 6-5 low, and Kupin was drawing dead.

Odenz won the pot with his 6-5 to eliminate Kupin in eighth place.
