Ramdin Busto
Razz
Just before the last break, Victor Ramdin was all in during the razz round. His board ran out 2-5-8-6-9-10-5 for a final hand of 9-8-6. That wasn't good enough to beat his opponent, who made a slightly better 9-8. That ended Ramdin's day. He went on break early and will not be back.
Dwan Kicks off Post-Break With a Win
Razz
Tom Dwan: (XXX) / 
Ryan Caskey: (XXX) / 
Ryan Caskey limped after another player brought in, and would go on to call Tom Dwan's raise. On fourth street Dwan would bet again, with Caskey making the call. Both players checked fifth street, but Dwan took it down with a bet on sixth street.
Day Two From the Field
Bloch Square into Full House
Stud
Andy Bloch has been quietly treading water today, unable to muster much steam to build up his chip stack. He recently took a hit in stud, when, with a board of (X) (X) / 
/ (X), Bloch tanked and then called Eric Schwartz's bet. Schwartz, whose board showed 
, opened 
in the hole for a full house.
Schwartz is on about 22,000. Bloch is down to 21,000.
Phil Ivey Doubles Up, Busts Out
Stud
We were just about to write a hand where Phil Ivey doubled up to 5,000, but no sooner had we started to write it did we get news of his elimination.
Player 1: (X) 
/ 
PLayer 2: (X) 
/ 
Ivey: (X) 
/ 
Despite making a set of fours, Ivey was no good against his opponent's full house. Player 1 was also eliminated in the hand.

Stud Hi/Lo
In the split-pot games, the aim is to scoop. Getting three-quarters is good, but scooping is where the real profit is made. We passed by Jon Turner's table just as he was scooping a pot with 
, a pair of aces for high and 7-4 for low. A railbird glanced at Turner's board and said, "Merry Christmas, Jon" as Turner dragged the pot to climb to 45,000.
Pocket Nines Good For Ospina
Hold'em
Daniel Ospina was on the button and called a raise from Robert Campbell in the big blind. We didn't get there in time to see if Ospina had limped or raised prior to that.
When the flop came 
Campbell bet and Ospina made the call. Action was the same with the 
on the turn. When both players checked the river, Ospina tabled and Campbell mucked.
Ospina is now up to 44,000 in chips
Not Much Value for Stern
Stud 8/b
Stern: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Joseph: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Puchkov: (X) (X) / 
FOLD
Bracelet winner Max Stern made a low and got all the way to the river in a recent pot against Susan Joseph but couldn't improve to a winning high half of the pot. Joseph had the betting lead on every street from fourth street on and never slowed down. She managed to fold Constantin Puchkov out on fifth street, but Stern went all the way. At showdown Stern showed 
in the hole for a pair of sevens and an eight-seven low. Joseph had 
for a full house. They chopped the pot.
Stern is holding steady at roughly 20,000 chips.
