Hahn Gives Brown a Scare

[user75032]

Chad Brown got quite a jolt from Albert Hahn.

Stud-8

Aldridge: X-X / {2-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {8-Spades} {k-Spades} / X
Brown: X-X / {5-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {6-Hearts} / X
Hahn: X-X / {a-Spades} {6-Spades} {9-Hearts} {a-Diamonds} / X

Chad Brown's the short stack now but that didn't stop him from mixing it up with Ken Aldridge and Albert Hahn in a three-way hand of stud split. Aldridge completed third street and was called by Brown and Hahn. Hahn had the lead every street thereafter and bet it, with Aldridge and Brown both calling in turn.

On sixth street, Brown could have closed the action with a call but instead raised. Hahn and Aldridge both called to the river, where Hahn again led out. That bet folded Aldridge, but Brown called.

"Flush and a low," said Hahn. Disbelief flashed across Brown's face, but when Hahn turned up his hand he realized he didn't have a low at all! He opened {2-Spades} {10-Spades} {5-Spades} for a spade flush with no low. Brown showed down {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} {8-Hearts} , a straight-8, to nab the low half of the pot.
