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.
We caught the action on fifth street when Yarron Bendor bet and received a call from Ted Forrest. The same action occurred on sixth street before both players checked seventh. Forrest showed a 9-8 low which bested Bendor's queen-seven.
Steicke's opponent brought it in with a king showing, and called after Steicke completed. The player also called bets on fourth, fifth, and sixth street. Both players checked on seventh.
Steicke's opponent rolled over for for an eighty-seven low, and Steicke released.
We happened upon Table 431 on sixth street with Dan O'Brien placing a 3,000 bet out, leaving just a single T100 grey chip behind. Action was on Brandon Cantu, who had chips to spare, but he opted to fold and concede the pot, which had approximately 19,000 in it.
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.
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.
Brett Richey was nursing a short stack for the last level, but his luck finally ran out as he was eliminated from the tournament. Taking his place at Table 435 is Stud specialist Maxwell Troy, who finished runner-up in this event in 2010 for $132,229.
