Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Razz

Layne Flack had been nursing a shorter stack for some time and eventually got it in against Ylon Schwartz.

"What, aces up are no good in Razz?" he said when the cards were already scooped up by the dealer.

"Thanks for that, or the misery would have continued further. Is there any other tournament that I can register right now?" Flack added.

Schwartz, in the meanwhile, scooped the pot with what appeeared to be a jack-nine and went back above the starting stack.

Stud Hi-Lo

David "ODB" Baker: /
Sampo Ryynanen: / fold

Hennigan was also just involved in a Stud Hi-Lo hand in which he sent a short stack to the rail when he held a nine-high straight on the turn and his opponent only revealed a pair of aces.
