Down and Dirty
Bryan Micon and Andy Bloch traded the lead back and forth during a recent Stud/8 hand. Micon was the one raising and betting out on third and fourth streets, while Bloch was betting and getting called on fifth and sixth.

(X)Both checked seventh street. Micon squeezed his last card. "Ah, so dirty... I missed." He turned over his down cards --
-- he'd missed his low, and paired his ten."That is dirty," said Bloch as he mucked. Tens were all Micon needed. "So dirty that you scoop the whole pot," added J.C. Tran.
Micon is at 14,000, while Bloch slips to 6,000.
