Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
On the tail end of a bigger confrontation between Jake Schwartz and Andrew Brown, there were nearly 70,000 in the middle. Schwartz jammed for 42,400 and Brown went deep into the tank. He talked to himself and his opponent, essentially declaring he was trying to talk himself out of a call.
Indeed, the fold followed and more table chat by Brown followed. "I folded the worst eight-six in the deck. I don't believe him, the body language says he didn't have it," Brown added.

A large three-way pot emerged in which Eli Elezra bet sixth street to get called by Michael Moncek and Jason Su. Elezra checked seventh and Moncek bet for almost his entire remaining short stack. Su called and Elezra also called as well.
Moncek revealed two pair and a missed low draw while Su had aces up. However, it was Elezra who dragged in the large pot with ![]()

for a set of kings. Moncek had fumes left, chopped the next hand to double before he was knocked out right after that.
Elezra then thanked newly arrived Ryan Miller for picking this particular game. "You are welcome, I gotta help you out," Miller replied.

Mike Matusow and Jake Schwartz tangled in multi street action in which Matusow had a low draw and straight draw. However, he folded to a bet by Jake Schwartz, who had improved to a pair of kings and two flush draws.
That loss put a small dent into Matusow's stack, as Schwartz leaped back above the starting stack.
