During a hand of Stud-8, Kristan Lord and Seong Hong had built up a pretty good pot with 280,000 each heading to 7th street.

Seong Hong:  (XxXx)  9cAc2s2h
Kristan Lord:  (XxXx)  9h8d8sQh

7th Street:  Hong checked, Lord bet 80,000, and Hong thought for a while before he called.

Seong Hong:  (As7s)  9cAc2s2h  (3s)
Kristan Lord:  (XxXx)  9h8d8sQh  (Xx)

Hong had two pair, aces and deuces, and neither player had a qualifying low. Lord mucked, and Hong won the pot to increase his lead.

Seong Hong  –  1,140,000  (14 BB)
Kristan Lord  –  450,000  (6 BB)
