Cotaidis Finds a Five

Stud Hi/Lo:

Five players get into the action here, but only Van Marcus and George Cotaidis make it past fourth street. On fourth, Marcus was the bettor and only Cotaidis came along with him.

Marcus: (X-X) {7-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {Q-Clubs} (X)
Cotaidis: (X-X) {7-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} (X)

On fifth street, Marcus made another bet, and Cotaidis called once more. On sixth street, Marcus decided to check, allowing Cotaidis to take the lead. Marcus called a bet from his opponent. Both men checked seventh street, and the hands were turned over:

Marcus: ({2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {10-Hearts}) {7-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Cotaidis: ({5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}) {7-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}

Having made trip fives on sixth street, George Cotaidis took down the pot, much to the chagrin of his opponent.

"I can't believe George called on fifth street," muttered Marcus.

"I was ahead!" retorted Cotaidis, as he raked in the pot.
