Our PokerNews field reporter stumbled across Barry Greenstein getting involved in a Razz hand. Greenstein raised a completion and called bets on fourth, fifth and sixth street before raising seventh with his opponent making the call.
We picked up the action on fourth street with Jerry Buss betting and his opponent calling. Buss also bet fifth street and his opponent called before he paired on sixth, which put action on his opponent first. The player checked, Buss bet and his opponent called. On seventh street, both players checked.
Buss's hand got mucked after his opponent showed for a seven-six low and the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers was out some chips.
Catching the action on fourth street, we found Tom Koral betting out 200 with both Amnon Filippi and David Oppenheim making the call. Filippi took the lead with a 400-chip bet on fifth as Oppenheim folded and Koral called.
Sixth brought about another bet from Filippi, but Koral chose to raise to 800 with Filippi making the call before check-calling 400 on seventh.
Koral flipped over his for trips, but it would be Filippi's in the hole that would see him scoop the pot with a wheel and move to a few thousand over his starting stack.

World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Jason Young is off to a rough start in this one. He's been very active early on, but not much has been going his way. Even though it's early and the bets are still small, Young's stack has dwindled to 20,000 in chips. That's just two-thirds of what he started with.
