Just before the break, two players were involved in a razz hand that played into the break.
Kevin Gerhart completed showing a five and Tomasz Gluszko called with a jack from the bring-in.
Both players hit a six on fourth street and Gerhart bet, Gluszko called again.
On fifth, Gerhart hit a deuce, Gluszko an ace. Action repeated with Gerhart betting and Gluszko called.
Players each found an eight on sixth street. Gerhart slowed down with a check. Gluszko took the initiative with a bet, but Gerhart had plans, he check-raised. Gluszko made the call.
Seventh dealt, Gerhart bet again. Gluszko went deep into the tank, for about two minutes.
"I'm not raising," said Gluszko.
"What can you beat?" asked Gerhart. "What three cards could I have under here?"
After a bit longer, Gluszko decided to let it go.
"Maybe I shouldn't have bet there. How did you know I would bet?" asked Gluszko.
"I play Razz in a weird way," responded Gerhart. "Most people would think I paired up there."
Gerhart took down the pot without a showdown as he built his stack back to healthy via a well-timed big pot.
