"This is an important pot right here," Daniel Weinman said as four players went to fourth street. Joey Couden bet and everyone called. Couden bet again on fifth, John Smitson raised, Cory Salzillo called all in, Weinman got out of the way, and Couden also went all in.

Couden ended up with {3-}{8-}{5-}{2-} for 6-5-3-2-A while Smitson was drawing to the same low with {10-}{a-}{3-}. He hit a five on his last card to split the pot with Couden, while Salzillo, left with a nine-low, was eliminated.

Level 14 : Limits 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Arthur Morris: {x-}{x-}/{10-}{4-}
Greg Clayman: {x-}{x-}/{a-}{k-}

Arthur Morris completed and was called by Greg Clayman. Morris bet again on fourth street and this time Clayman got out of the way.

A few hands later, Morris completed with a deuce and won the pot uncontested.

Morris admits he had never played Razz before entering this tournament. "I wanted to learn Razz so I can enter the big buy-in mixed games," he told his tablemates.

Morris says he has won a satellite into the $50,000 Poker Players Championship three years in a row but has never played in the tournament. Even with his dearth of Razz experience, he's near the top of the chip leaderboard so far today.
