Razz

Craig Chait: XxXx/Ax6x6xJx - folded on sixth street
Alex Livingston: XxXx/2x7xQx6x

Craig Chait completed, Alex Livingston raised, and Chait called. Chait caught best on fourth street and bet out, but Livingston put in another raise.

"Are we playing the same game?" Chait asked.

"I'm ahead," Livingston stated confidently.

Chait then called before he paired on fifth street. He called another bet by Livingston, who also bet sixth street.

Chait started weighing his options, prompting Livingston to exclaim, "Fold your nine-draw." When Chait shook his head, Livingston corrected it to an eight-draw, which Chait also disputed.

Whatever draw Chait was on, he eventually folded it, granting the pot to Livingston uncontested.

Jeff Shulman: Q♣J♦6♣2♦ All in

Steve Zolotow: XxXx/4x9xQxKx - folded on sixth street

Ryan Miller, Pojana Jenne, and Steve Zolotow were in for 7,500 each heading to fourth street, wherein Miller bet and both Jenne and Zolotow called.

On sixth street, Miller bet after being checked to, which got a fold from Zolotow and a call from Jenne.

Jenne check-called a bet from Miller a final time on seventh street and Miller tabled Kx6x5x for a six. Jenne slid her cards into the muck and Miller dragged the massive pot.
