Bracelet winner Max Stern made a low and got all the way to the river in a recent pot against Susan Joseph but couldn't improve to a winning high half of the pot. Joseph had the betting lead on every street from fourth street on and never slowed down. She managed to fold Constantin Puchkov out on fifth street, but Stern went all the way. At showdown Stern showed {7-} {7-} {3-} in the hole for a pair of sevens and an eight-seven low. Joseph had {q-} {9-} {4-} for a full house. They chopped the pot.
