Katz Among the Latest Casualties

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

With just over half an hour level to play on Day 2, the field is down to the last 45 players and Aaron Katz is no longer among them. According to Scott Bohlman, he "missed a high and low draw" to be eliminated by Bohlman who continues to be a big stack on the table.

While not necessarily stacking in multiples of ten, he currently glances over a tower that consists of stacks of 34. Michael Moncek is the only other big stack at the table.

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo

Ap Garza: / /
Daniel Negreanu: / /

Ap Garza was facing bets of Daniel Negreanu, who fired all the way on every single street. During the action, friendly table chat broke out during which Negreanu was trying to figure out what exactly his opponent had and Garza, likewise, double-checking what he had.

"Just tell him what you have and he will tell you what to do," one player at the table chimed in while Garza called on fifth with the words "there's two more cards to come."

After sixth, he slammed the chips in for the call and joked "HIT ME" to the dealer.

"Hit you with what?" a surprised Negreanu joked and then quickly bet again.

Garza checked his cards once more and replied "I had a flush draw, a gutshot, and a pair draw." Eventually, the fold followed and Negreanu flashed his for a pair of aces and a low.
