Gerencher: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Porter: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Mark Gerencher was all in on third and we caught up with the action on fourth where Rep Porter bet and his opponent called. The action was the same on fifth while both players checked the last two streets. Porter showed for an eight-low. The opponent mucked and Gerencher could only produce a nine-low which eliminated him. Porter, who was down to 17,000 not long ago, has made quite the comeback.
We found Christopher George all in and at risk against Calvin Anderson who showed an eight-low by the end. George was drawing dead since he could only make a nine-low with his last remaining card and was thus eliminated.
Benjamin Powell: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
McLean Karr: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Tommy Chen: (X)(X) / / (X)
Powell completed, Chen made it two bets, Karr made it three bets, Powell called, and Chen made it four bets. Karr contemplated capping, but just called, and so too did Powell. The action was indeed capped on fourth, but on fifth things slowed down. Karr led out, and both Powell and Chen called. It was Powell's turn to lead out on sixth - showing the lowest pair - and he received two calls.
Powell led again on seventh, both players folded, and Powell won a massive pot.
"This is a razz machine table," Daniel Idema commented.
"Show the full house!" Bryan "The Icon" Micon urged him.
Powell didn't show all of his cards, just a .
"He's just going crazy with his Hangover money," Micon joked.
Powell does resemble Hangover star Zach Galifianakis - it's the beard - and now has close to 80,000 chips.
Karr busted a few hands later.
Epstein: (X)(X) / 
Abrams: (X)(X) / 
Ramdin: (X)(X) / FOLDED
We caught up with the action on fourth where Scott Epstein bet and Scott Abrams raised all in. Victor Ramdin got out of the way and the players flipped their cards.
Epstein:
Abrams:
Epstein caught a on fifth to give him a nine-low while Abrams paired with a that had him drawing dead to eliminate him as Epstein grew his stack.
Sklansky: (X)(X) / / (X)
George: (X)(X) / / (X)
Bergeron: (X)(X) / / (X)
David Sklansky completed and Christopher George called but Madison Bergeron came in with a raise. Sklansky re-raised, George called again and Bergeron called all in for less. On all remaining streets, Sklansky bet and George called. Sklansky showed for an eight-low which neither player could possibly beat with the boards they were showing and they both mucked. The pot grew Sklansky’s stack while Bergeron was eliminated and George took a big hit.
Chad Brown: (X)(X) / / (X)
Rep Porter: (X)(X) / / (X)
Brown completed, Porter raised, and Brown called. Brown led on fourth street, Porter called, and then Porter led on fifth. Brown put in two bets - enough to put Porter all in - and Porter called.
Brown:
Porter:
Porter picked up a on sixth, giving him a ten-low, but Brown caught an and was drawing to a live eight. Brown paired on seventh though, and Porter improved to an eight-low just for kicks. He won the hand, doubling his stack.
Zachary Fellows just doubled through Mark Tenner during one of the first hands back from break. Fellows was real short, and they got it in with just one card showing. The boards ran like this:
Fellows: / /
Tenner: / / (X)
Tenner didn't show his last card, and Fellows doubled to almost 10,000 chips.
We missed the hand but can confirm that Shawn Sheikhan busted Phil Laak on the first hand back from dinner break.
