Raymond Davis Eliminated in 15th Place ($6,843)
On the second draw, Davis stood pat, and Phan took one. Davis bet, Phan raised, and Davis called with his last chips.
Both stood pat on the end. Phan spread out 7-5-4-3-2. "Just a wheel," said Phan. Davis mucked quickly, though appeared to have had a 7-6. Phan is now up to 156,000.
Mizrachi Can't Chase Down Chase
On the second draw, Mizrachi took two and Chase one. Again, Mizrachi check-called. On the last draw, Mizrachi drew one card and Chase stood pat. Mizrachi bet, Chase raised with the last of his stack, and Mizrachi called.
Chase showed 8-7-4-3-2. Mizrachi showed three of his cards -- 8-7-6 -- then mucked. Chase is now back up to 41,000, and Mizrachi has 124,000.
No Second Place
Luis Velador Eliminated in 16th Place ($6,843)
Both drew two on the first round. Then Davis drew one and Velador two.
On the final round of drawing, Davis stood pat. "If you have a 10, it's good," he told Velador. Velador considered Davis's advice, then discarded one.
"I have a jack," joked Davis. Then he spread out 8-7-6-4-2.
In fact, Velador had had a 10 before the third draw -- he'd had 10-6-5-3-2. So he'd made the right decision. Unfortunately for him, he'd picked up an ace on the end, and he is out.
David Baker Triples
Each player drew two cards on the first draw and then checked the action. On the second draw, Baker took one, while Raymer and Sung took two cards a second time. Baker put his last 1,100 chips in after the second draw, and again both Raymer and Sung called.
Baker was pat on the third draw; Raymer and Sung took one each. Raymer fired out a bet, folding Sung (who had made a straight), but Raymer's made eight was not enough to beat Baker's 7-6-5-3-2.
Baker now has 27,000 chips.
No Phan of That Last One
On the last draw, Phan took one and Velador stood pat. Once again Phan checked, Velador bet, and Phan made the call.
Velador showed 8-7-5-4-2. Phan showed four of his cards -- 7-4-3-2 -- and tossed away the one that lost him the hand. Velador has 35,000, and Phan 86,000.
