Defending Champ Doubles

Chad Holloway

Stud:

We caught the action on the turn when a player in Seat 4 check-called a bet from Aaron Steury. The action was repeated on fifth street, except the bet was Steury's last 600.

Steury: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} / {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} / {K-Clubs}
Seat 4: {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} / {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} / {8-Hearts}

Seat 4 needed a club on the river to eliminate the defending champ, but he couldn't catch as the {8-Hearts} blanked. Steury survived, though he is still well below average.
