We came up to Al Barbieri's table during the Stud Hi/Lo round. He caught the bring-in, then raised after Daniel Negreanu completed and was called by a third player. They were three-handed to fourth street, where the third player had the lead. He bet and was called by Barbieri before Negreanu raised. The third player called all in and Barbieri called as well.
Negreanu bet fifth street and sixth street, with Barbieri calling each time. The action checked on the river. We weren't able to track all of the down cards, but Negreanu got all of the side pot but none of the main -- the third player scooped the main.
"Double play, Al!" said the third player as he looked at his phone.
"Double play and a double-up," Negreanu said with a laugh.
