Pot-Limit Razz Champion from Estonia Finds a Way

After arriving at the table, Blaz Zerjav and Ryan Coon somehow got all of their chips into the middle preflop and their hands were face up on the felt.

Ryan Coon: A♠K♥Q♠3♣All in
Blaz Zerjav: A♦7♦6♠4♦

It appeared that one player was trying to show Zerjav his potential outs, until the flop came Q♥9♠7♠. "Oh that's all him," he pointed out after Coon flopped a pair with the lone flush draw.

The J♥ on the turn changed nothing but it was the 4♣ on the river that gave Zerjav a baby two pair and Coon was bounced from the tournament.

"The pot-limit razz champion from Estonia," Scott Bohlman pointed to Zerjav's holding. Zerjav already has two WSOP bracelets under his belt this summer, neither coming in the PLO or razz variants; however, he did win a $200 pot-limit razz title in Estonia back in February for a whopping $3,300.

In a preflop contest, Stoyan Madanzhiev was all-in for around 57,000 and covered by Ray Attiyah.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♠A♥K♣K♥ All in
Ray Attiyah: A♦A♣7♥6♦

The 5♣4♣2♦ flop gave Attiyah the straight draw, which he hit on the 3♣ turn to make the 7♦ river a formality.

With the full board out and showing 8♥K♥8♠10♦3♦, Stefan Lehner bet 13,800 from middle position, causing Heng Zhang to go into the tank. Zhang thought it over for quite some time before settling on a call.

Lehner showed the goods with J♦10♠8♣8♦ for flopped quads, and the pot was sent to him.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Christopher Sly raised it to 3,000 from the hijack and only Michael Culyer defended out of the big blind.

Culyer knuckled the action over to sly on the A♥5♦6♦ flop. Culyer bet 2,000, and was met by a check-raise to 12,000 from Culyer. Sly instantly folded and surrendered the pot to Culyer.

Josh Arieh checked from the small blind on a flop of 3♥Q♣J♥ and Young Sik Eum bet 5,000 from under the gun. Arieh check-raised to 21,000, which Eum called.

The 3♣ dropped on the turn and Arieh jammed for roughly 38,000. Eum called to put Arieh at risk.

Josh Arieh: K♥Q♥J♦4♥ All in
Young Sik Eum: A♥A♣8♦2♥

Arieh's two pair on the flop had been counterfeited, and Eum had the better flush draw. Arieh couldn't find the help he needed on the 7♦ river, and he wished everyone good luck as he headed for the exit.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Several players limped in and Rene Knapp then bumped it up to 5,500. The first limper Chaoxing Li pushed all in and it folded back to Knapp, who called.

Chaoxing Li: K♠Q♥8♦7♠ All in
Rene Knapp: A♦K♥Q♦4♥

The inferior hand failed to catch any help on the 9♣6♦2♣ flop and J♠ turn but the 8♥ river gave Li the double for 10,600 with his pair of eights.

On a flop of J♦10♣6♣, the stacks of three players went into the middle and Bryan Buonocore was the shortest of them up against Jon Kyte and Brynjar Gigja.

Bryan Buonocore: K♥J♥10♠3♠ All in
Jon Kyte: J♣J♠7♠7♦ All in
Brynjar Gigja: A♥Q♣9♥8♣

Gigja had a lot of equity to knock out two players but it was Kyte who came out on top thanks to the 8♠ turn and 6♠ river runout, as he improved to a full house. Buonocore was eliminated while Kyte doubled for more than 35,000 against Gigja.
