A Sigh of Relief for Black

Andy Black
Andy Black
Stud Hi/Lo:

Opponent1: x-x / {6-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {A-Spades} / x
Black: x-x / {2-Hearts} {J-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds} / x
Opponent2: x-x / {10-Spades} {k-Clubs} {9-Spades} {Q-Clubs} / x

We caught up to a big pot at Andy Black's table on fifth street. The player with the king on his board checked, bringing a bet from a third player that Black and the first player both called. The bettor led the action on sixth street, and again Black and the third player called.

On the river, action checked to Black. He bet out and was called by both players. He opened {2-?} {3-?} {4-?} in the hole for a six-high straight and 6-5 low. It was a scooper.

"The rich get richer," said the player with all Broadway cards on his board.

"I had it on sixth," Black remarked. "But the thing is, if he had a low card, he can have me beat and if you have a jack, you can have me beat."

"I had an unhappy kings up," the Broadway player remarked.

"It's funny," Black continued without really hearing his opponent's response. "It's funny to have a 6-low straight and look like you're beat in two spots."

Black doesn't have to worry about that; he's up to about 54,000 again.
