Katherine Fleck: {x-}{x-}/{5-}{3-}{5-}{10-}/{x-}
Ted Forrest: {x-}{x-}/{j-}{6-}{7-}{7-}/{x-}
Dan Heimiller: {x-}{x-}/{8-}{8-}{6-}{9-}/{x-}

Ted Forrest bet on fifth street and was called by both Katherine Fleck and Dan Heimiller. Action was on Heimiller on sixth, who took his time before making a decision.

"Let's speed things up there," Forrest said. Heimiller checked, as did Forrest and Fleck. Fleck bet on seventh, Heimiller folded, and Forrest made a reluctant call after letting out a laugh.

Fleck showed {4-}{7-}{6-} for 7-6-5-4-3 to win the three-way pot.

Action was on fifth street and Anthony Zinno bet and Phil Hellmuth raised and was all in. He was called by Anthony Zinno and Peter Neff, who was also all in.

After sixth and seventh street, Zinno finished with {7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}{a-}, while Hellmuth showed {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-} to bust. Neff also busted.

"That's the worst f**** play I've ever seen. I can tell you play Razz a lot," Hellmuth told Zinno before leaving the tournament.

"Round two goes to Zinno, again," said a tablemate after Hellmuth had gone. Neff was also eliminated on the hand.

Anthony Zinno: {x-}{x-}/{a-}{q-}{3-}{a-}/{x-}
Julien Martini: {x-}{x-}/{2-}{4-}{j-}{k-}/{x-}
