Stuart Rutter Eliminated in 7th Place ($25,646)
Vladimir Shchemelev was the bring-in with the 
and Stuart Rutter completed with a 
showing. Shchemelev was the only caller, and Rutter was getting short.
Shchemelev: (X)(X)/
/(X)
Rutter: (X)(X)/
/(X)
Schelemev bet fourth street, and Rutter considered carefully before calling. On fifth, Shchemelev bet again, Rutter announced a raise, and he soon found himself all in for about 80,000 total. He turned up 
, and he was not in good shape when Shchmelev showed his 
for the made ten-low.
Rutter bricked out on sixth with that pair of queens, and another bricky 
on seventh street cued the good luck wishes and the handshakes all around. After a deep run through this razz field, Stuart Rutter is out in seventh place, and he's gone straight over to the other side of the room to play the next one, the H.O.R.S.E. World Championship.
Take it Easy
Since Stuart Rutter was eliminated about eight hands ago, we've seen the action really slow to a crawl.
Every pot since then has gone to fourth street heads up, and every pot has promptly ended with one bet there. We haven't made it to fifth street in a long while. The stacks are pretty deep, and there's plenty of poker left to be played from the looks of it.
The pay jumps are starting to get a bit more significant now.
We'd agree with Frank Kassela's last quip, laced with sarcasm: "This is exciting!"
Updated Chip Counts
After passing the bring-in around for about a half hour, here's how the chips look now. You can see that Melville Lewis has been the big beneficiary of the stagnant play, and Frank Kassela is back out of the danger zone:

Jennifer Harman Eliminated in 6th Place ($33,890)
Jennifer Harman called the bring-in and then a completion from Melville Lewis.
Harman fired out on fourth with Lewis calling before she bet 30,0000 on fifth. Lewis put her all in for her last 2,000 and Harman obliged with a call.
Harman:

Lewis: /
On sixth street Harman caught a and Lewis a before Harman paired up on seventh with a . Lewis managed to squeeze out a to send Harman to the rail with a seven-six low as she made her way to the cage to collect for her tournament efforts.
Chow Time
