Seven Card Stud
Yehuda Buchalter: J♦4♦3♦/2♦3♣8♦5♥
Nicolas Milgrom: XxXx/J♥2♥8♠A♦/Xx
Carol Fuchs: XxXx/7♠2♣4♠ -folded on fifth street
Carol Fuchs called the bring-in and Nicolas Milgrom completed. Yehuda Buchalter defended his bring-in and Fuchs called as well for a three-way pot.
Milgrom continued for a bet on fourth street and both Buchalter and Fuchs called.
Milgrom bet again on fifth and Buchalter raised. Fuchs got out of the way and Milgrom called.
Milgrom then called bets from Buchalter on sixth and seventh and Buchalter said, "Flush and a low," as he turned over his hole cards, which got a confused look from his tablemates.
"I was playing the wrong game!" Buchalter said. "Thank God I made a flush."
Milgrom couldn't beat a flush and sent his cards into the muck — awarding the pot to Buchalter.
