Zuffi:

Van Alstyne: 
/ 
/ (X)
One pair looked good enough for the short-stacked Mark Zuffi. When he made open deuces on fifth street, he put his last 10,000 chips into the pot. James Van Alstyne thought about it for a few seconds before calling. Zuffi didn't have anything better than deuces; Van Alstyne made a pair of jacks on fifth street. He improved to jacks and fours on sixth street, leaving Zuffi looking to improve on the river. That didn't happen, and as a result Zuffi is out.
Hold'em
Thomas Hunt did his best to hang on as long as he could. Finally, in the hold'em round, he re-raised after Daniel Ospina opened. Hunt had only 5,000 cihps behind his re-raise, which quickly went into the middle.
Ospina: 
Hunt: 
"It's a flip," remarked Allen Kessler. That wasn't entirely true; Ospina was a roughly 3-to-2 favorite. He was a massive favorite after a flop of 
. Hunt needed running cards for a full house and was drawing dead after the 
turn. He leaves with $6,885 in prize money.
Stud
Awad: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Revesz: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
It almost seems unfair when the player with the most chips makes very strong hands to gain even more chips. Andrew Revesz was facing a bet on fifth street from Hani Awad. He called and caught a third diamond on sixth street. Awad must have sensed some danger; he checked and then called a bet. The action was the same on the river. At showown, Revesz produced two diamonds from the hole to go with the three on board, 
. He had a diamond flush and dragged the pot to climb to 420,000. Awad is down to 165,000.
Razz
We caught the tail end of this hand, a pot against Johannes Steindl that put David Brooker in bad shape:
Brooker: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Steindl: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
We caught up on sixth street as Brooker was calling a Steindl bet to leave himself with just 14,000. Both players checked seventh street, and Brooker showed 
for a marginal queen-low. Steindl tabled , and his ten-nine low put Brooker on the very short stack.
The rest of Brooker's chips went into the next pot against Robert Mizrachi when both players started with a low card showing. The dealer ran out the boards:
Brooker: 
/ 
/ 
Mizrachi: / 
/
Mizrachi was saying, "Wow. Wow. Wow," after each street, not liking the cards he was catching. He liked that seventh street card, though, as it filled in his jack-ten-four low. Brooker's jack-ten-eight was second best, and that means he's out of chips and out the door in 22nd place.

Razz
Hani Awad completed with the showing, and Cliff Josephy raised with the 
. Blake Cahail called both bets, and Awad called the extra one to go off to fourth street.
Awad: (X) (X) / / (X)
Josephy: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Cahail: (X) (X) / 
Josephy got a bet in on fourth street, and both opponents called. On fifth, another Josephy bet pushed Cahail out of the way, but Awad check-called quickly. Josephy bet again on sixth, and Awad called, and Josephy bet out of turn on seventh street. "I'm first," said Awad, eventually checking with a sour look on his face. Josephy's chips went right back into the pot, and Awad tank-called.
Josephy turned over 
to give him the the very strong sixty-five, and Awad shook his head. "I had a big hand too," he said, flashing his 
. Awad's ninety-five was second-best though, and the pot goes to JohnnyBax.
Josephy - 180,000
Awad - 235,000
Omaha 8/b
As is typical at the start of the day, when all players are fresh, the short stacks have not been shy about getting their chips in the middle. David Brooker was all in on the turn, 
, and called by Robert Mizrachi. Mizrachi showed top pair and a few draws, 
. Brooker had two pair with . The river bricked out for Mizrachi and he had to pay off another double-up.
Omaha 8/b
We came to Chip Jett's table as he was involved in a big pot with one of the larger stacks, Regis Burlot. Jett checked a turn, then raised after Regis bet. Burlot called to the river, which Jett bet.
"I've got 1,000 more behind," Jett pointed out to Burlot. Burlot didn't put Jett in with a raise, though. He just called.
"Nut-nut," said Jett. He turned over for the best possible hand both ways. Murlot just mucked, giving Jett a double-up.
