Tom Argyros: Ax6x7x/5x5x7xQx

Betting was picked up on fifth street with Murphy leading out after Argyros checked. He bet again on sixth, saying, "I'm ahead, so I'll keep betting." Both players checked seventh, and when Murphy saw his ten low beat Argyros' queen low he declared for all to hear, "I am a razz god!"

Michael Gagliano: XxXx/2x3xKx6x
Jeff Lisandro: 6xXx/Ax8x7x4x - folded sixth street

Picking action up on fourth street, Jeff Lisandro bet and got called by Michael Gagliano who caught rough with a king.

Both players caught well on fifth and Lisandro continued betting with Gagliano again calling.

On sixth street, both players seemingly improved again, but Lisandro now checked. Gagliano then bet and after some thought, Lisandro folded his hand, showing a 6x in the hole.

"You folded and eighty-seven?" Said Gagliano with surprise as he stacked up his newly earned chips.

Play has been fast and frantic through the first three levels of the day and the bubble was no different.

Two players busted just before the bubble, meaning no hand-for-hand play was needed and the final 84 players are in the money, earning at least $2,409.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 19

Jason Lipiner: XxXx/Ax5x10x10x - folded on sixth street
Mark Fraser: AxAx4x/6x8xJx3x
Jose Paz-Gutierrez: 4x8x9x/5x9xJx4x

Paz-Gutierrez found himself down to two bets on third street and reraised Fraser to get them both in the middle. From there the betting was on the side between Fraser and Lipiner, as Paz-Gutierrez watched his fate unfold in front of him.

Fraser eventually folded out Lipiner on sixth after running tens, but by then Paz-Gutierrez was drawing dead, and a second pair on the river made it official.

Schertzer Doesn't Give Chance What He Wants

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 19

Kevin Chance: XxXxXx/5x5x2x9x
Ivan Schertzer: XxXxXx/7x8xJx7x - folded seventh street

Kevin Chance completed the bring-in and got a call from Ivan Schertzer to his immediate left.

After Chance paired his door card on fourth, he called a bet from Schertzer to see fifth street.

Still with the lead, but picking up a jack, Schertzer elected to check, then called a bet from Chance.

On sixth street, Schertzer also paired his door card so the betting lead was now back on Chance, who indeed bet and got a call from Schertzer.

On seventh, Chance bet again and after thinking briefly, Schertzer cut out a raise, but never moved it forward,opting instead to move his cards forward and fold.

"Raise it! Raise it! I made it!" Said Chance, disappointedly as the pot was pushed his way, but wishing he could have collected another bet on the end.
