Robert Chow was all-in on third for the last of his chips against Kurt Schurecht, Jonathan Miller, and Travis Trail. Miller folded on fifth
Robert Chow: 7x6xAx / Qx9x10x7x
Kurt Schurecht: 7x3x2x / 5x3x3x6x
Travis Trail: Jx5x2x / Ax5x4xJx
Trail bet on fifth and Schurecht called. Sixth street checked through.
On seventh, Trail checked to Schurecht who bet. Trail went deep into the tank before he announced, "I'm gonna pay you off with my jack," and tossed in the chips.
"Good call," Schurecht replied, "I have a full house," as he revealed his hole cards and began to push his cards into the middle. There was, however, just one issue. Schurecht didn't have a full house, he had made a seven low, and the dealer was going to award him the pot.
The decision sent Trail into a frenzy as he claimed that the hand was mucked, even though all seven cards were on the table. The floor was called over and ruled that Schurecht still would be awarded the pot, and that the pushing of the cards forward did not qualify as a muck. Trail remained quite displeased with the ruling as Schurecht's value-bluff won him some extra chips, while Chow was eliminated.
Andrew Kelsall remained interested from an adjacent table to witness the rarely-seen "Razz controversy".

William Burke: XxXx / 7x5x7xQx - folded on sixth street
Tom Koral: XxXx / 4x4x5x9x / Xx folded on seventh street
Eugene Katchalov: 6x4x2x / 5x7x10xAx
Tom Koral completed and both Eugene Katchalov & William Burke called. On fourth street, Katchalov bet, which Burke and Koral called.
Fifth street came by and Katchalov fired again, and both players called. Another bet came in from Katchalov on sixth and he finally got one of his opponents to fold as Burke relented, but Koral stuck around.
Katchalov bet seventh, his fourth bet in a row, and Koral decided to let it go. Katchalov flashed his down cards, 6x4x2x, to the table as he raked in the pot.
While the hand was going on, some of table were asking the dealer how to remember the strength of the suits.
"It's in reverse alphabetical order. Spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs," she said.
"What if we don't know the alphabet," replied one of the table.
"Then you're probably not good value in a poker tournament," she joked.
