Playing Stud/8:
Start of Day 2 chip leader Joseph Cambareri and Leonardo Palermo both got all their chips in against Paula Jamison on a Stud/8 hand.
As the cards ran out, Cambareri made a set of Kings and no low. Palermo had a pair of Aces and failed to make a qualifying low. Jamison made a six-high straight and wheel for the nut low to scoop it all, scoring the double knockout in the process.
Since Cambareri had fewer chips at the start of the hand, he got sixth place and $1,681. Palermo finished 5th for $1,986.
