Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett is down to 9,300 in chips, but that unmistakable voice is still ringing out as bright as ever as he continues his quest for his first WSOP gold bracelet.
The action folded to Mitch Branch who raised to 425 from the button before the flop; Garrett called and then both players checked the flop of 
and the turn of the 
, before Garrett led out for 500 on the river of the 
. Mitch, who was only playing about 1,500 behind, reluctantly called and turned up 
for two pair. Garrett mucked.
"Good call! I just wanted to see where you were at," Garrett bellowed. "What were you afraid of?"
"Going broke," Branch replied meekly.
On the last break, our very own Kristy Arnett called the clock on Garrett, which you can check out in the video below.
We can tell you that that there is one other player who has gone broke - Jason Mercier was one of the late entrants into today's event after busting in seventh place from the 2-7 Draw Lowball final table. According to our sources, it wasn't even five minutes before he walked back out the door.

, and it was checked to the button, who bet 450. The small blind called, then Raymer check raised to 1,425. Both players called, and the turn brought the 
. It seemed like an action card, but all three players checked and saw the 
hit the river. The small blind bet out 2,500, and both Raymer and the button called fairly quickly. When the cards were turned up, everyone was surprised to see what they had.
Small Blind: 
Button: 
Raymer: Mucked but said he had 10-high flush
All three players rivered a flush, but the button's was best. Raymer lost the hand, but is still very healthy at around 12,000.
