Jim Bechtel Playing Nine-Handed

[user38368]

The tournament staff apparently broke a table too early and had nowhere to put Jim Bechtel -- so he's playing at a table nine-handed. This unusual situation means there's a possibility of a community card being dealt in the Stud games. This requires multiple players to seventh street, so it's unlikely.

Sexton Survives Razz

[user24788]

Mike Sexton was down to 4.200 after catching a blizzard of bricks during Razz. He doubled through Todd Bruson when his 7-6 low beat Brunson's 8-7 low. That pot pushed his stack to 12K.

Sexton won the next hand and increased his stack to 16K.
