Witz Rips Into Younes

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On a flop of {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Jonathan Witz bet 90,000 in the small blind and Nader Younes raised to 225,000 on the button. Witz then raised the pot for more than 800,000 and that sent Younes into the tank. He then folded and exposed the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for everyone to see.

Witz only exposed the {q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} with the words "I don't even know what the other cards are."

Eli Elezra replied: "you had the nut flush draw, I know you."

Witz shot back with a remark that indicated Elezra had no idea what he was talking about and that caused some friendly banter.

"I played poker before you were born. How old are you? I am 61."

Witz replied "I am 59" and then raked in the pot with a grin on the face without exposing his other two cards.

The atmosphere on the final four tables has been very jovial as the action may have slowed down but the jokes from various contenders have not.

More For Sandrock

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On a {7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Chris Sandrock led into Leonid Yanovski for 30,000. Yanovski called.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and Sandrock quickly fired out a meatier 180,000, which got a fold from Yanovski, as the Day 1 chip leader makes a late press to earn the same title after Day 2.
