We caught up on the action with the final board reading and Ylon Schwartz facing a bet of 4,000 from Adam Friedman. Schwartz stood up from his chair as he studied the board and then looked over at Friedman before making the call. Friedman quietly said "ten-three" and exposed his hole cards: for a flopped two pair and a rivered full house.
Schwartz, looking to solidify his reputation as one of the world's best mixed game players, shot a look of contempt at Friedman as he asked aloud "Ten-three? How do you have ten-three there?" The player's table broke as this hand ended and Schwartz was slow to leave, still staring at the board in shocked confusion.
We caught up on a hand of razz as Parviz Razavian and an opponent played a heads-up pot.
Razavian: (X)(X) -
Opponent: (X)(X) -

After sixth street was distributed it was Razavian's turn to lead out for 4,000 and his opponent's turn to flat call.
With only 2,300 left, Razavian went all in in the dark and after squeezing his down card, his opponent made the crying call. Razavian tabled the for an A-2-4-6-7 low and took the pot down, more than doubling up in the process.

Opponent: (X)(X) - - (X)

After the dealer tossed each player a down card on seventh street, Elezra fired a bet of 4,000 at his opponent, who responded by saying, "You don't have to bet just because you caught it," before she made the call.
Elezra flashed a smile at the other player as he tabled the for a busted flush draw and a pair of aces made on seventh street. The opponent held for a 2-3-4-5-7 low and the pot was chopped.
After the hand Elezra told the table, "Nobody wants to give me credit... but that's fine, keep doing it," as he added even more chips to his growing castle.
