Time for Another Break
Level 22
The final four players are now on their second 20-minute break of the day, which means we are too.
Uneventful Round of Razz
Level 22
Only two hands made it to fourth street in the latest round of razz, so no chips really move. The players have now moved on to pot-limit Omaha.
