Tehan and McMillan Sent Out the Door

Chad Holloway

Joe Tehan recently tangled with Brandon Cantu and was primed to get all his chips in on fifth, save one purple T500 one. Unfortunately for Tehan, sixth would tripped him up and force him to fold his hand and try for the old poker hail mary . . . "a chip and a chair."

Cantu: (x-x) /
Tehan: (x-x) /

Unfortunately for Tehan, he was all in with the ante on the next hand and did not win the hand.

JoeTehan Joseph Out in 23rd place. Was really card dead at the end of the night. Razz is definitely a frustrating game. Gl @BigRiskky June 10 2012

Shortly thereafter, a short-stacked Ron McMillan was sent to the rail in 22nd place.

Shchemelev Takes a Big Hit

[user101598]

Phil Hellmuth	/ /
Vladimir Shchmelev	/ /

We caught up with the action on fourth street, where Hellmuth check-called a bet from Shchmelev. Hellmuth check-called bets on fifth and sixth as well, then check-raised on seventh. Shchmelev called, and was very unhappy to see Hellmuth's {a-} {6-} {2-} .

Cantu Continues to Roll; Eliminates Brownstein

Chad Holloway

"Nice hand," we heard Peter Brownstein say before making a hasty exit to the payout desk. We headed over and saw that he was drawing dead headed into seventh against Brandon Cantu.

Brownstein: {7-} {8-} / {3-} {J-} {J-} {Q-} / (x)
Cantu: {A-} {3-} / {6-} {7-} {A-} {5-} / {4-}

With that, Cantu has went from 4,000 to 172,500 in just 40 minutes.

Grizzle & Wright Silenced

[user101598]

Sam Grizzle completed with a {5-} , Scott Abrams raised with an {8-} , and Grizzle moved all in. Abrams called, and the boards ran out like this.

Grizzle: {a-} {q-} / {5-} {4-} {5-} {10-}
Abrams: {7-} {2-} / {8-} {k-} {q-} {5-}

Abrams turned over a {3-} on seventh to give him an unbeatable eighty-seven low. Grizzle turned over a {2-} , and the last words he said were, "I finally got a good card."

Grizzle finished in 27th place and followed Larry Wright, who was eliminated in 28th place, to the payout desk.
