On fourth, Grizzle had the best hand and he led the betting with both opponents making the call. On fifth, Gizzle fired again with Hellmuth calling and Matusow getting out of the way.
On sixth street, Hellmuth paired up to take the lead but he checked to Grizzle who fired a bet. Hellmuth called, and then again check-called on the river.

Which Game Is This?
Razz
Sorel Mizzi has just taken down a nice pot in Razz, when some may have been forgiven for looking at the game sign to double check that it wasn't Stud.
Mizzi was showing three aces on board but that didn't stop him from firing a bet on the river, which his opponent called.
Mizzi: (
) /
Opponent: (X-X-X) / 
Mizzi showed a ninety-five which was good as his opponent mucked. Mizzi moves up to 12,500 chips.
