Kristan Lord:  (XxXx)  5c8s3c
Daniel Blum:  (XxXx)  3d2s6h

During a round of Stud-8, Daniel Blum moved all in on 5th street for 9,000, and Kristan Lord called.

They turned over their hole cards:

Kristan Lord:  (AhJc)  5c8s3c
Daniel Blum:  (8h6d)  3d2s6h

Lord had ace high with an 8-5 low draw, while Blum had a pair of sixes with an 8-6 low draw. Blum needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

Kristan Lord:  (AhJc)  5c8s3c3s  (10s)
Daniel Blum:  (8h6d)  3d2s6hJs  (Jh)

Neither player made a qualifying low, and Blum won the entire pot with two pair, jacks and sixes, to double up in chips.

Daniel Blum  –  99,000  (4 BB)
Kristan Lord  –  721,000  (30 BB)

With four players remaining, the average chip stack is around 398,000 (17 Big Bets). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $4,885 each.
