Bleznick led out on every street - he even bet in the dark on seventh - and Davis called him down until seventh, where he mucked.
"Go get the microphone," David told him. "Tell everybody you doubled again."
"I've never done anything disrespectful to you," Bleznick responded. "Why are you needling me?"
"You exposed your hand," David countered. "And you didn't even get a penalty. You talked your way out of like a girl. Take the penalty like a man - that's what I always do."
Bleznick and Davis were still going at it when we left the table.

Yarron Bendor, who final tabled Event 4: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better, just eliminated 1983 WSOP Main Event Champion Tom McEvoy from the tournament.
Both players started with a deuce up, and McEvoy led out when he was dealt a four on fourth street. Bendor called with a seven, and the rest of the money went in on fifth, when McEvoy and Bendor caught a and a respectively.
McEvoy: /
Bendor: /
McEvoy's board ran out , giving him two pair - which obviously doesn't help in this game - and ten-high. Bendor's first five cards were enough to win the pot, and score the elimination.

We're not sure how it happened, but Kami Chisholm has been eliminated from the tournament. Known in the poker world as "Dr. Kamikaze," Chisholm, who is a filmmaker and cultural critic with a PhD in History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies, began the day second in chips, and we can only assume things went south for her here on Day 2.
Meanwhile, "Miami" John Cernuto has been eliminated from the tournament.
