After Seong Hong took a 4-to-1 lead in the last hand of Seven Card Stud, the game switched to Stud-8, and Kristan Lord’s luck did not improve.
Lord folded the first hand on 5th street, the second hand on 3rd street, and the third hand on 4th street. They split the fourth hand of Stud-8, and then Lord folded on 3rd street in the fifth hand.
That gave Hong a 13-to-1 lead, leaving Lord with a single big bet in his stack.
Seong Hong – 1,480,000 (15 BB)
Kristan Lord – 110,000 (1 BB)
In Hand #6 of Stud-8, they put in 10,000 each for the ante, and Hong had the bring-in for 20,000 with the 
. Lord raised to 50,000 with the 
, Hong reraised, and Lord called all in for 100,000.

Going to 7th street, neither player had a low draw. Hong had two pair, sevens and fours (with an extra set of threes), and Lord only had a pair of jacks. Lord would need to catch a jack or pair his board to stay alive.

Hong’s last card was a five, so Lord was still drawing live, but his final card was a ten, leaving him with just the pair of jacks.
Hong won the pot — along with the title, the trophy, and $19,020 — with two pair, sevens and fours.
For the second day in a row, Kristan Lord finished as the runner-up, earning $11,310. (Yesterday Lord finished second in $1,100 Limit Omaha 8 to earn $10,040).
Congratulations to Seong Hong!
