Cody Espeseth Eliminated in 16th Place ($6,835); Joseph Thomas Eliminated in 15th Place ($7,978)

Mike Patrick

Level 23

Razz

Cody Espeseth //
Joseph Thomas: //
Lawrence Brandt: //

Immediately following a hand that saw Lawrence Brandt put Joseph Thomas on a short stack of just over 110,000, Thomas and an even shorter stacked Cody Espeseth got their last chips in on third street against Brandt, who chose to gamble a bit, starting with a pair of sevens with a five against Espeseth's nine-three-one and Thomas' nine-eight-one.

But as is Razz, much can change in the span of seven cards.

By fifth street, Espeseth was ahead with a nine-five, Thomas had a nine-eight, and Brandt had just three cards to a seven.

But sixth and seventh street hit Brandt perfectly as he pulled a deuce and a six to make his seven, while neither Thomas nor Espeseth could improve enough to catch him, creating a double elimination to drop the field to 14, while sending Brandt's stack over two million.

TerranceReid

Level 23

Razz

Tomasz Gluszko: //
Kevin Gerhart: //

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.
