High-Chicago

The Game

Similar to Seven-Card Stud, but the highest spade card in the hole splits the pot with the highest poker hand.


The Deal

As in 7-Card Stud: two down, four up, one down. Bet after each dealing round.


Ending the Game

After the final bet, reveal hands and hole spade cards.


Irregularities

It is possible for the player with the highest poker hand to also have the highest spade down. The player lucky enough to have this happen sweeps the pot.
