Stud lasted 17 hands. Although most of the pots were small, there were a couple of note. Deeb managed to win one worth almost 2M on Hand #227 against John Hanson. Hanson lost the lead at that point and Fitoussi went to work. By the end of the level, Fitoussi started to pull away, until Deeb won a 3.3M pot from him.
The game switches to seven card stud, eight or better. The antes are 40,000, the bring in is 50,000, and the completion is 180,000. The limits are 180,000-360,000. Play continues without a break.

5th: Fitoussi bets 360,000, and Deeb calls.
6th: Fitoussi bets 360,000, and Deeb calls.
7th: Fitoussi checks, Deeb bets 360,000, and Fitoussi goes into the tank, standing up to study Deeb's cards more carefully. Fitoussi rechecks his own cards, and quickly shakes his head. He takes a drink from a styrofoam coffee cup, and then picks up a few chips as he continues to study Deeb's cards, standing the entire time. He counts out the size of the bet, and has his hands on the chips as if he's ready to call. Deeb is sitting still, with his eyes darting around the table to look at the cards and Fitoussi. After about three minutes, Fitoussi calls. Deeb shows 3-x-x for trip threes, and Fitoussi shows A-A-x for two pair, aces and queens. Freddy Deeb wins the pot worth 3.2 million.
