Australian Robert Campbell may have won his bracelet earlier this summer in $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw, but he has a strong mixed game pedigree, especially in Razz.
Campbell has 11 top-ten finishes in non-NLHE events, including five that included Razz in the mix. Also included are two 2016 cashes in Razz events; a 25th place finish in the $1,500 and then a fifth-place finish in the $10,000 Championship equivalent.
Now he's already grabbed his first, who's to say that Campbell can't grab a second in this event?
Players are going on their first break of the day with 86 players remaining. The average currently stands at 50,000 with the limits increasing to 2,000/4,000 when play resumes.
"All-in and call, Table 608!" said Steven Albini loudly to the room. He was all-in on fourth street and as the board ran out, his opponent Daniel Idema made a wheel with on the end.
"A wheel?" said Albini. "That's going to be tough to beat." He drew the on the end to make an eight-six and was eliminated.
Maksim Pisarenko bet on fifth street and Nick Polydoros called. Pisarenko was all in for 1,500 on sixth street and again Polydoros called.
The cards were turned over with Pisarenko holding a made ten-eight and Polydoros drawing to a six. Pisarenko drew a to improve to an eight and Polydoros could only draw a to make a ten-six, but it wasn't enough.
