Marco Johnson: / /
Gavin Smith: / /
Adam Friedman: /
In a hand just before the break, defending champ Adam Friedman checked fourth street and "Crazy Marco" Johnson bet. Gavin Smith called, as did Friedman, and it was off to fifth. Again Friedman checked, and this time Johnson did the same. Smith seized the opportunity to toss in a bet, Friedman folded and Johnson came along to sixth.
Smith ended up check-calling a bet, and then did the same on seventh. Johnson tabled the for nines with a low, which was good enough to scoop the pot as Smith sent his cards to the muck.
Meanwhile, Maria Ho has been eliminated from the tournament.

We caught up with the action on fifth street, where Tehan called a bet from Matusow. Matusow led out again on sixth and seventh, Tehan called both bets, and Matusow opened up for a flush. Tehan showed for a bricked flush, and we unfortunately missed his seventh card.
A few hands later, at the same table, Todd Ickow was eliminated with unknown action.

Two years ago, Eric Rodawig won the 2011 World Series of Poker Event #33: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split-8 or Better Championship by defeating Phil Hellmuth in heads-up play. Not only did he deny the great Hellmuth his then 12th bracelet, he also took down his first piece of gold and the accompanying $442,183 prize.
Rodawig is still in contention with a big stack, and so is defending champ Adam Friedman. There's still a lot of play to be had, but one can't help but wonder if a former champ will capture the prestigious title once again.
Here's a look at a recent hand involving Rodawig.
Brian Hastings: / /
Eric Rodawig: / /
Brian Hastings brought it in with the and then made it two bets after Rodawig completed. A call was made and then Rodawig check-called a bet on fourth before both players checked fifth. It was back to check-calling on sixth and seventh before the cards were table.
Hastings:
Rodawig:
Hastings had the low locked up, which meant Rodawig's pair of kings took the high. Chopped pots are no fun, but it gave us the perfect excuse to update you on their chip counts.

Matt Lefkowitz: /
Naseem Salem: / /
Tony Cousineau: / /
After a player brought it in, Matt Lefkowitz limped and Naseem Salem completed. Tony Cousineau then made it two bets, Lefkowitz and Salem called and it was three-way action to fourth street. Cousineau was first to act with ace high and wasted little time in putting out a bet, which both his opponents called.
Cousineau fired again on fifth, Lefkowitz folded and Salem called. Salem then check-called a bet on sixth and did the same on seventh. Cousineau tabled and indicated that he caught the five on seventh to make two pair. Salem then flashed the for a smaller two pair before sending his cards to the muck.
Right after the hand, Max Pescatori and Lefkowitz informed us that we had just missed a big hand in which the former ran aces full into Lefkowitz's straight flush. Both players had made their hand on seventh.
