Razz

There was around 8,000 in the pot when they made it to seventh street, both displaying similar boards. Zack bet, Bronshtein raised, and Zack reluctantly called to see the bad news as Bronshtein made a six.

With the board reading , Phil Hellmuth checked to his neighbor Brayden Gazlay who fired what looked like around a pot-sized bet of 5,000 from the hijack. It was enough to cover Hellmuth's remaining chips and the 15-time bracelet winner contemplated his decision. Then he opted to avoid the risk of elimination and let his hand go.
