Grizzle Cripples RW3

Sam Grizzle{x-}{x-} / {a-}{6-}{k-}{7-} / {x-}
Robert Williamson III{x-}{x-} / {6-}{q-}{5-}{6-} / {x-}

Grizzle and RW3 were heads up on fourth street, where Grizzle bet out. RW3 called. Grizzle check-raised on fifth street, RW3 called, and Grizzle led out again on sixth. RW3 called. On seventh, Grizzle bet dark.

"Come on, Robert!" Jared Bleznick exclaimed. "Bust Sam!"

RW3 didn't seem to happy when he sweated his last card however.

"What did you do?" Bleznick asked. "Pair?"

"Worse," RW3 responded.

"What's worse than pairing?" Bleznick asked himself.

RW3 ended up calling, and Grizzle turned over {7-}{5-}{2-}. Williamson mucked, leaving himself around 8,000 chips, while Grizzle now has around 28,000

Bleznick Bests Davis

Jared Bleznick completed and received a call from Raymond Davis. The latter proceeded to call bets on every street up to seventh, which both players checked. "Nine," Bleznick said hesitantly signaling he had a nine-low. Davis didn't react so Bleznick tabled his hand, which ended up the winner.

Bleznick: {9-}{8-}{A-} / {3-}{6-}{J-}{A-}
Davis: (x-x) / {5-}{8-}{Q-}{9-} / (x)

Richey Not So Rich Anymore

With about 10,000 in the pot, Brett Richey fired out a bet on seventh street only to have Brendan Taylor raise. Richey, who only had 5,000 remaining, looked as if he might three-bet, but ultimately grabbed his cards and tossed them to the muck.

Richey: (x-x) / {4-}{Q-}{9-}{7-} / (x)
Taylor: (x-x) / {2-}{2-}{9-}{5-} / (x)
