Ren Lin: 7x6x6x / Ax3x8x9x

Lin revealed an eight-seven low to win the pot. Alexander looked back at his hand and realized he had made trip fives, having misread one of his downcards.

"How do you even raise there?" Alexander asked, referring to Lin's three-bet on fifth.

After carrying over from yesterday’s banter about being the “Razz Master,” Lin shot back: "How did you win a bracelet in Razz?"

Joao Vieira: 8x6xAx / 7xQx2x8x All in
Dzmitry Urbanovich: 9x6x4x / 2xJx3xKx

Dzmitry Urbanovich completed and Joao Vieira called. Both players checked fourth street, and on fifth, Urbanovich check-raised a bet from Vieira. Vieira called.

On sixth street, Urbanovich received a 3x and Vieira a Kx. However, the players quickly noticed the dealer had failed to burn a card before dealing, meaning Urbanovich's 3x was mistakenly dealt and should have been the burn. After calling the floor and explaining that no action had occurred, a ruling was made: the 3x was used as the burn card, and Urbanovich was given Vieira's Kx instead. Vieira received a new card — an 8x.

Vieira bet, leaving himself just 1,500 behind, and Urbanovich called. The rest of the chips went in on seventh street. Vieira showed an 8-7-6-2-A low, beating Urbanovich’s 9-6-4-3-2.

"Oooo, $300 [thousand] up top," Ren Lin said, as he peeked at his hole cards.

"I have you dominated," Lin said after being dealt fourth street. "I bet." Negreanu called.

Lin was dealt an ace on fifth street and bet again.

"You're drawing dead," Lin said to Negreanu.

"You don't know what you have!" Negreanu replied. "But I have a pair so, you win." Negreanu then mucked his hand.
