A short-stacked Ran Azor got his last 1,750 in preflop and was at risk against Andy Frankenberger.
Showdown
Frankenberger:
Azor:
Frankenberger was happy with his spot, but the gave him pause for concern. Much to his relief neither the turn nor river helped Azor and the two-time bracelet winner was pushed the pot.
"He's the first person to bust this table in three hours," Frankenberger said insinuating there weren't as many chips in play on that table as the others. "Send us some big stacks."
Because of the Mix Max controverse regarding the draw for the heads up round these players were not able to buy in on time. Jason Mercier left right when the tournament finished, and barely made it into the tournament the regular way. The following players were granted an extended late entry into this event, but as you can see both Brandon Cantu and Roger Hairabedian already busted.
Phil Hellmuth, Marvin Rettenmaier and Jennifer Tilly just sat down while Mercier is doing very well already.
