A big three-way pot of Stud Hi/Lo drew our attention to Cliff Josephy's table. The action was already to sixth street with a large number of chips in the middle. Andrew Revesz showed an open pair of nines and had the betting lead. His bet folded short-stacked Kyung Han, but Josephy called to the river.

At the river, Revesz checked to Josephy. Josephy fired out a bet, leaving himself about 10,000 behind. Revesz then check-raised, causing Josephy to look like he wanted to vomit. He seemed to sense he had blundered, but with so few chips left and so many in the pot Josephy probably didn't have much choice in his action. He called.

"Full house, no low," said Revesz. He opened {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} for nines full of deuces. Josephy appeared to table {a-} {5-} {j-} for aces and fives with no low. The whole pot went to Revesz, allowing him to climb to 410,000 in chips. Josephy, however, is out in 19th place.
