From a lady who, although of somewhat advanced years, is nowhere near the oldest person in this room right now:
"I invented poker. I was right there with Eli Whitney when he invented the cotton gin, I invented poker. I played with Moses. The cards were so heavy back then you could hardly lift them because they were made of rock."
Anonymous lady, we salute you.
We're starting to see a bit of movement in the stacks now, although we have not yet been privileged enough to witness any exits.
Tom Dwan: (XX)/
Seat 2: (XX)/
When we caught up with the action, Dwan was betting fifth street and received a call from his opponent in Seat 2. When Dwan caught the six on sixth street, he bet out again. This time his opponent thought better of it and folded. Dwan took down the pot is sitting with 6,650.
Pezzin: 
/ 
Opponent: (XXX) /
We found Pat Pezzin facing a check from his opponent on seventh street; he responded by betting. His opponent folded, and Pezzin turned over his cards rather quickly, we think showing , before tossing his whole hand into the muck.
Actually it's rather heartening that the rest of the table weren't any more on the ball with assessing hands in a mere second than we were. "Did you make the wheel?" asked Pezzin's confused opponent. "No, I had a six," Pezzin told him as he upped his stack to 10,400.
Billy Baxter: /
Seat 2: (XXX)/
Billy Baxter, who is generally considered one of, if not the, best lowball players in the world, won a bracelet in a Razz event back in 2002. Baxter was recently involved in hand against a woman in Seat 2.
With about 1,000 in the pot, both players checked sixth street and then again on seventh. Baxter turned over A-3-8 for a 8-7-6-3-A low, which was good enough to win as the lady swiped up her cards and tossed them into the muck. Baxter is up to 8,550.
Carlos Mortensen: 
/
Opponent gentleman 1: (XX) / 
- folded
Opponent gentleman 2: (XXX) / - folded
Carlos Mortensen completed and got two callers on third street. Thereafter the aggressor was the man known as Opponent Gentleman 2 - he bet out on every street up to and including seventh. One of his opponents got out of there on fifth street, but Mortensen called all the way, before raising on seventh street. Opponent Gentleman 2 folded to the raise, and Mortensen's stack increased to 9,200.
Jennifer Tilly: /
Seat 3: (XXX)/
With 1,600 already in the pot, Jennifer Tilly bet on seventh street and her opponent in Seat 3 called. Tilly showed a for an 8-7-3-2-A low. Her opponent wanted to see her other two hole cards before he picked up his board and mucked.
Tilly took down the pot worth 2,000 and is now sitting with a little more than 10,000.
