    David Oppenheim Eliminated

    Razz:

    David Oppenheim: (X-X) {5-?} {4-?} {A-?} {8-?} (X)

    Mike Wattel: (X-X) {A-?} {Q-?} {2-?} {10-?} (X)

    Mike Wattel completed on third street and David Oppenheim called. Oppenheim led out on every street and was called down. On seventh, Oppenheim bet out all but his last 1,000 chip and Wattel raised. A visibly distressed Oppenheim tanked for several minutes over the call, bending and flicking his cards in anguish before finally tossing the chip in.

    Wattel showed {3-?} {6-?} {7-?} in the hole for a 7-6 low and Oppenheim mucked. After the hand, Wattel was up to 465,000.

    Mickey Appleman Eliminated

    Razz:

    A short-stacked Mickey Appleman was all in on third street against Raymond Davis. When all the cards were dealt, Raymond's hand was almost bulletproof as he ended up with a (X) {7-?} {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} {2-?} {A-?}.

    Appleman was drawing dead by sixth street and stood up and walked away. He finished with a ({7-?}) ({9-?}) ({2-?}) {Q-?} {10-?} {A-?} {7-?} and was eliminated.

    WSOP Player Advisory members chowing down now, any comment on the schedule change (4 levels & dinner break at 4:30!)?

    One more level to go and I'll probably play conservatively to save my gambling for an easier table on day two.
