2-7 Triple Draw
Action folded to Allen Kessler in the cutoff and he raised to 10,000. The button folded and then Doyle Brunson three-bet to 15,000 from the small blind. After the big folded, Kessler called and then drew two after Brunson stood pat.
Brunson bet, Kessler called and the action repeated itself after Kessler drew another two. On the final draw, Brunson stood pat and Kessler drew one. Brunson slowed down with a check and before looking at his card Kessler said, "I'm 0 for whatever all day."
Kessler then squeezed out hit card and showed the 
to signify a check. Brunson then tabled the 
for an eight-low to win the pot.

Stud-8
Doyle Brunson: 
/ 
/
Jennifer Harman: / 
/
Ofir Mor: / 
Fold
We picked up the action on fourth when Doyle Brunson bet and both Jennifer Harman and Ofir Mor called him.
Harman paired aces on fifth and promptly bet, which elicited a fold from Mor and a call from Brunson. The ten-time bracelet winner then called a bet on sixth and called off his last 1,100 on seventh.
Harman tabled the 
for aces and sixes, but it was no good as Brunson, who is playing his first event of the summer, tabled the 
for a flush. Ship the double to Texas Dolly.

Razz
After earlier knocking out Gus Hansen, Tommy Hang has now eliminated Phil Galfond from the tournament as well in a razz hand.
Galfond was sitting in Hansen's old seat, in fact, and down to just a few thousand when he saw Hang complete with an 
showing. Galfond raised all in with an 
, and when it got back around Hang called.
They tabled their cards — 
/ for Hang, and / for Galfond.
Hang ended up drawing 
with his remaining cards for an 8-6-4-2-A. Meanwhile Galfond kept picking up eights — 
— to end with an 8-7-6-3-2 and hit the rail with about 83 players still left.
Still just hours removed from his runner-up in Event #52: $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em (Six-Handed), Galfond tweeted afterwards that last evening's finish may have been occupying his thoughts some today:
Out of the 50k. I've still been thinking over last night and probably didn't play my best today. A little break will be nice.Follow @PhilGalfond
