Just read an interesting article about this in my latest issue of Cigar Aficionado. Anyone played it at Vegas?
Open Faced Chinese poker?

Played alot at Aria's. 2 big backers of the game are Phil Hellmuth and Brandon Cantu. You get dealt
13 cards-5 to start with and then one card at a time-and need to make a stack of three exposed poker hands
of descending strength 5 card hand on the bottom that must be stronger thatn the five card hand
above it and that middle hand has to be stronger than the 3 card hand at the top. The game is
played for points like gin. Messed up the order of strength and you forfeit.
