TEXAS HOLD 'EM
Hold ‘Em is a community card game. Each player receives two cards. There are designated blinds in Hold ‘Em (usually two: a small and a big in the first and second positions to the left of the dealer button). After the initial round of betting, three cards are turned up on the table, commonly referred to as a “flop.” There is a betting round after the flop, then two more cards are turned up, one at a time, with a round of betting after each card. Players match their two hole cards with the five community cards on the board. The best 5-card hand wins the pot.

PINEAPPLE HOLD ‘EM/CRAZY PINEAPPLE HOLD ‘EM
A variation of Texas Hold ‘Em, each player is dealt three down cards instead of two. After the initial round of betting, players must discard one of their hole cards before the flop. All other rules of Hold ‘Em apply. Pineapple Hold ‘Em can be played either high or high-low split. A qualifier of eight-or-better is usually needed to win the low hand in the split game. In Crazy Pineapple Hold ‘Em, after the initial round of betting, players must discard one of their hole cards after the flop. All other rules of Pineapple Hold ‘Em apply.

7-CARD STUD
Seven-card stud is played with two down cards and one up card, a betting round, followed by three more up cards (with betting round after each), then a final down card and a final round of betting. The best 5-card hand wins the pot. The initial action is made by the player with the lowest ranking up card. On subsequent betting rounds, action is started by the highest ranking card. In a fixed limit game, if there is an open pair on the fourth card, players have the option of making a bet or raising the higher limit.

OMAHA
Omaha is similar to Hold ‘Em, except each player is dealt four down cards instead of two. The betting is same as Hold ‘Em. However, to make a hand, a player must use precisely two hole cards with any combination of exactly three board cards.

OMAHA HI-LO SPLIT EIGHT-OR-BETTER
A variation of Omaha, players may use any combination of two hole cards and three board cards for their high hand and another (or the same) combination of two hole cards and three board cards for the low hand. A qualifier of Eight-or-better is required for the low hand. If no player can make a low hand, the high hand wins the entire pot.

POT LIMIT HOLD ‘EM
In Pot Limit Hold ‘Em, a player can open for any amount up to four times the size of the big blind. Any player may bet and raise the amount of money in the pot. In raising the pot, a player must consider the total amount of called bets including their own call as part of the pot. All raises must be equal to or greater than the size of the previous bet or raise.

NO LIMIT HOLD ‘EM
In a No Limit Hold ‘Em game, there are designated blinds and/or antes plus a designated opening bet. Beyond this structure, any player may bet any amount of money they have on the table.

7-CARD HI-LO SPLIT - EIGHT OR BETTER
A variation of 7-card stud, the best high hand splits the pot with the best low hand. However, in order to win the low half, the player must have an 8-low or better. If there is no low qualifier, the high hand wins the entire pot.

7-CARD LO (RAZZ)
Razz is a low ball game. The lowest hand wins the pot. Aces are low and straights and flushes have no effect on the value of the hand. In Razz, the high card has the forced opening and the low hand is first to act thereafter.

Earlier this week, the Foxwoods Poker Classic wrapped up its $2,500 Championship Event, which passed its $300,000 GTD by drawing 183 entries and generating a prize pool over $400K.

Soukha Kachittavong capped off a great series by taking down the title and a $101,827 top prize. It was Kachittavong’s fifth cash of the series, which included a win in Event #2: $300 NLH Big Stack for $16,376 and third in the $500 Six Max for $4,913.

The win brought Kachittavong’s lifetime earnings up to $1,275, 075, which puts him second on Rhode Island’s all-time money list behind Aram Zobian ($1,943,682). It was the second-largest score of Kachittavong’s career after he won $127,637 for taking down the 2017 Borgata Spring Poker Open Event #1: $560 Deepstack Kick-Off.

Back in 2015, Kachittavong also won the Foxwoods World Poker Finals Main Event for $76,037. He also finished as runner-up in the 2017 Foxwoods Poker Classic Championship for $70,679.

Others to cash the tournament were James Frangoulidis (11th - $7,258), Je Wook Oh (13th - $6,452), Erik Orman (16th - $6,049), Brock Wilson (19th - $5,645), and Aaron Sacks (21st - $5,645).

Final Table Action

According to updates from the event, Kachittavong finished Day 1b as chip leader and started Day 2 second overall. However, by the time the third and final day rolled around he sat towards the bottom of the counts with 11 players remaining. Luckily, an early double got him off to a good start and he never looked back.

With four players remaining in Level 27 (25,000/50,000/25,000), Kachittavong and Dave Stefanski got into a preflop raising war that saw the latter five-bet jam. Kachittavong called off for 1.9 million holding aces, which were well out in front of Stefanski’s queens. The aces held and Kachittavong took over the chip lead in the biggest pot of the tournament.

After Kachittavong finished off Stefanski a short time later, WSOP Crazy 8’s champGalen Hall and Kachittavong clashed when the former got all in holding ace-queen and was flipping against the latter’s pocket jacks. A jack on the flop closed the door on Hall, who had to settle for third place and $41,537 in prize money.

Kachittavong began heads-up play with over a 2:1 chip lead against Paul Snead and it didn’t take them long to get it all in preflop.

'I've won a couple tournaments with this hand that's why I'm going to call' Kachittavong said before calling Snead’s shove. Kachittavong’s pocket threes proved to be way out in front of Snead’s deuces and held after a clean runout. Snead took home $65,523 for his runner-up performance.
