Roman Yitzhaki was all in on fourth, and Townsend got is last chips in on seventh in another complicated three-way stud-8 pot. Here's how things worked out:
Roman Yitzhaki: / / - jacks and tens for the high half of the main pot
Brian Townsend: / / - aces for the high half of the side pot
Carlos Mortensen: / / - six-four low for the low half of both pots

Steve Billirakis: (X-X) / / (X)
Marco Johnson: (X-X) / / (X)
John Hennigan: (X-X) / / (X)
We caught up with the action on fourth, when Johnson led with a bet, and Hennigan and Billirakis both called. Johnson bet again on fifth, and Hennigan raised. Billirakis three-bet, and the other two called. Billirakis moved all in with his last few thousand on the next street, and Johnson called. Hennigan raised it to a full bet, and Johnson called that as well. He check-called one last bet on the side, and it was time for a complicated showdown. Billirakis showed , and queens full of tens was good for the high half of the main pot. Hennigan's gave him the low of the main and side pots, and Johnson had made a straight to take half of the side pot.
The end result left Billirakis with 200,000, Hennigan with 200,000, and Johnson with 560,000.
Brandon Adams got his last chips in on third when he completed, Richard Ashby raised, he three-bet, Ashby four-bet, and he called all in.

Adams split aces held and he doubled to 210,000. Ashby dipped to 470,000 after paying him.
In another stud hand, Steve Billirakis was all in by fifth against John Hennigan.
Billirakis: /
Hennigan: /
Hennigan picked up the next, giving him a heart draw to go with his pair of sixes. Billirakis caught the on sixth, meaning he'd need any ace, queen, jack, ten, nine, eight, seven, or diamond to double. And the fit the bill, giving him 140,000 and the chance to see another hand. Hennigan was left with 210,000.
Steve Billirakis had just folded on sixth in a razz hand, leaving himself only 35,000. When the game switched to stud, he was all in on third with / against Brandon Adams' / . The boards fell:
Billirakis: / / (X)
Adams: / / (X)
Billirakis was ahead until Adams peeled the on seventh to make top pair. Billirakis squeezed his last card and turned over the , giving him a straight to stay alive. Billirakis is still short with 85,000, and now Adams is short as well with 95,000.
Matt Glantz: (X-X) / / (X)
Carlos Mortensen: (X-X) / / (X)
Carlos Mortensen completed, and Glantz called. He called again when Mortensen bet on fourth and fifth. The Matador checked sixth, then called a bet from Glantz. Both players checked on the end. Mortensen tabled , saying "Eight." He did indeed have an eight-low. Too bad the game had switched from razz to stud. Glantz held and won the pot with a pair of fives. He's up to 700k while Mortensen's mistake dropped him to 400k.
After the hand, Carlos asked the dealer to move the placard that displays the game so that he could see it.
Roman Yitzhaki: (X-X) / / (X)
Nick Schulman: (X-X) / / (X)
Yitzhaki led with bets on fourth and fifth, and Schulman called. Both checked sixth, and after looking at his final card, Schulman bet out. Yitzhaki folded, flashing the (ax2x) he'd started with and the third he'd caught on seventh. He is down to 100,000 now and in need of help.
The same round, Marco Traniello lost a big razz pot to Scott Fischman to find himself in similar difficulty.
Traniello led on fifth, and when Fischman raised, Schulman folded. Marco called, then bet out on sixth. Scott flatted. Traniello checked seventh, and Fischman bet. Traniello called to see that Fischman had caught a wheel. Fischman is up to 560,000 while Traniello is down to 127,000.
On an flop, Steve Billirakis got his last chips in, and Michael Chow called him. Billirakis held for top pair with a gutshot. Chow showed for the full straight draw. But neither the turn nor the river brought a third Broadway card, and Billirakis doubled up to 220,000.
Brandon Adams raised from middle position, and John Hennigan three-bet behind him. Adams called to see the . He check-called Hennigan's flop bet and did the same after the on the turn. The on the river bricked low draws but filled in just about every other draw. Hennigan put in one last bet, leaving himself 2k behind. He turned over for trip sixes. Adams couldn't beat it with . Hennigan doubled to 260k, leaving Adams with 230k.
