The flop came 8♦3♠3♥ and Yeh bet. Roberts and Glaser both called and the 6♥ fell on the turn.

Yeh bet again and both opponents called. The river was the 9♠ and Yeh put out another bet.

Roberts quickly called, but Glaser considered the decision for a few minutes. "Sorry, guys," he told his tablemates before eventually calling.

"Ace-three, ace-deuce," Mike Matusow predicted as Yeh showed A♠K♥6♣3♣ for a full house, while Roberts had A♦Q♥9♦4♥ for a low to chop up Glaser's chips.

"Mike thought he knew where everyone was at, and he was wrong on both," Chris Klodnicki added.

Vitch then check-called a bet on the J♣ turn before check-folding to a bet on the 3♥ river.

The game plaque then changed to Razz.

"One way or another, it's going to happen in the Razz," said Phil Hellmuth who had less than 100,000. "Razz is my game, razz is my game," he continued but his speech fell on deaf ears, failing to capture anyone's attention.

Hellmuth then folded his first two hands of Razz to leave himself with 70,000 at the break.
