Ship the Chips to Micon
Razz:
Micon: x-x / 5-3-9-4 / X
Malcolm: x-x / A-3-10-9 / x
The game was still razz when we came back from the break. In a battle of the BMs, Bryan Micon and Brian Malcolm tangled, with Micon betting every street including the river. Malcolm called the whole way, then mucked his hand when Micon showed 10-7-2 in the hole for 7-5-4-3-2. Technically speaking, Malcolm wasn't board-locked on the river, but Micon must have felt very comfortable with his hand. -

Programming Note
The next break will be extended to allow the final table to be moved from the Green Section of the Amazon Room to the secondary feature table. Perhaps being under the spotlight will bring some action back -- the last three hands of Omaha Hi/Lo have been checked on multiple streets.

Small Pot for Shorr
Stud Hi/Lo:
Shorr: x-x /
/ x
Malcolm: x-x /
/ x
Shannon Shorr has been very quiet for the last hour or so, patiently waiting for his spots. He found one in a stud hi/lo hand against Brian Malcolm.
Shorr completed third street and was called only by Malcolm. Shorr fired again on fourth, checked fifth (Malcolm checked behind) and then fired again on sixth street. Malcolm stayed with Shorr the whole way.
Down the river, both players checked. Shorr opened 
in the hole for two pair, aces and deuces. Malcolm claimed a big draw that completely missed before mucking. -

Schock: A-5 / 3-6-2-Q / 9

Schock immediately made a 6-5 on fifth street, leaving Soulier more or less dead. He was gone once all the cards were out.
Soulier walks away with $31,657. -
