John Racener has retained his lead while Bryce Yockey, Andrew Yeh, and Craig Chait follow close behind. Below are the big blinds and big bets for the first level after the dinner break.
Andrew Yeh: / folded on fifth
Philip Long: /
Ismael Bojang: / folded on fourth
Andrew Yeh completed and was called by Philip Long, bring-in Ismael Bojang also called as well. Yeh bet fourth street to get called only by Long, who then paired his seven and bet to win the pot right there.
Mike Gorodinsky: /
Bryce Yockey: / folded on sixth
Bryce Yockey completed with a ten and Mike Gorodinsky came along. Yockey bet his lead on fourth and fifth to earn calls. Gorodinsky paired the ace on sixth and his bet instantly took down the pot without any further resistance.
In the meanwhile, table short stack Paul Sokoloff further dropped into the dark red zone as every hand in stud games costs him at least an ante if not more. Bojang is not that far better off but has around three times as many chips.
Mike Gorodinsky limped with a four and then called when Craig Chait completed. It was Chait who bet the lead on fourth, they then checked fifth. Once Gorodinsky paired on sixth, another bet by Chait took down the pot uncontested.
Eric Wasserson not only conceded the top spot but even dropped behind another two players as John Racener emerged at the top of the leaderboard.
What followed then was a five-way limped Razz pot without too much tussle thereafter.
Bryce Yockey: / folded on fourth
John Sokoloff: / folded on fourth
Ismael Bojang: / folded on fifth
John Racener: / folded on fourth
Mike Gorodinsky: /
Mike Gorodinsky started the limping action and that led to the limps by Bryce Yockey, John Sokoloff, and Ismael Bojang while the bring in John Racener checked. Gorodinsky bet fourth and was called only by Bojang, who then folded on fifth when Gorodinsky bet once more.
The action on the nine-handed table kicked off with Omaha Hi-Lo and Bryce Yockey in the cutoff took on Eric Wasserson in the small blind. On the turn, Wasserson check-called a bet and then checked again the on the river. Yockey bet once more and this time, a reluctant fold by Wasserson followed.
In the first hand of Razz, Ben Lamb was all-in for 75,000 on the button after paying the ante of 10,000 and he was looked up by Ismael Bojang.
Ben Lamb: / /
Ismael Bojang: / /
Lamb started well ahead but caught high cards while Bojang ran well to make a seven-four until sixth. "It's over?" Lamb inquired from the other side of the table and that was indeed the case. He ended up with an eight-seven and was eliminated in 10th place for $31,327.
