Raymer Out
We recently lost 2004 World Champion and Team PokerStars Pro Greg Raymer from the field. It's been a frustrating series for Raymer and luck just wasn't on his side today.
According to his tweets, he was crippled earlier after losing with a set against an opponent's runner-runner full house, before his final chips went into the pot and never returned.

Some Razz From The Mouth
Razz
Mike "The Mouth" Matusow faced bets from his opponent on fourth, fifth and sixth streets, before both players checked it down on seventh. Matusow had to deliberate before making the call on sixth and would've been relieved to see his hand was good.
Matusow: (
) / 
Opponent: (X-X-X) / 
Matusow could only table a ninety-eight, but it was enough to take it down as his opponent mucked. Matusow moves up to 11,200.
