Takashi Ogura: 5x2x/7x8x2x4x/3x
Rafael Concepcion: 3xJx/6x7x4x3x/7x

After fighting all day to keep alive, with several key double-ups, Concepcion made one last stand. By the time the last of his chips went in he appeared to be way behind, and when Ogura turned over his three from underneath he realized he was actually drawing dead.

But his tenaciousness earned Concepcion a few deserved rungs up the pay ladder.

Jeff Lisandro: 9x6x/4x10x7x4x/Qx
David "ODB" Baker: Ax2x/8x5x3xJx/2x

Facing the same dwindling stack the other two recent knockouts had faced, Lisandro raised Baker's complete, and Baker, who had been smelling the blood leaking from Lisandro's stack for several hands, decided to strike. Lisandro's paired fours on sixth had him drawing dead to Baker's 85, and his quest for his seventh bracelet, and second in razz came to an end.
