2014 World Series of Poker
Brave Move By Pescatori Doesn't Work Out
With just four tables remaining in the field and the money bubble approaching, tense times are upon the remaining competitors in the field. Razz is one of those games where players can grind and grind down to a very few amount of chips, and that's exactly what Brandon Cantu and Max Pescatori were left to work with after the following hand against Eli Elezra.
Elezra: (X-X) / / (X)
Pescatori: (X-X) / / (X)
Cantu: (X-X) / — fold
Picking up the action on fourth street, Cantu checked, and Elezra fired a bet. Pescatori called, and Cantu folded. On fifth street, Pescatori had the best hand showing and led with a bet.
"Woah! That's very brave of you, Max," exclaimed Elezra from across the table before making the call.
On sixth street, Elezra bet, and Pescatori called after pairing up. On seventh, Elezra bet, and Pescatori folded.

Jason Mercier and David Singer just played a big pot, in which the former managed to make a wheel. We picked up the action on fifth street when Mercier bet and Singer tanked for a bit before making the call.
On sixth street Mercier quickly bet again, and Singer tanked for quite a long time before ultimately making the call again.
Mercier: (X-X) / / (X)
Singer: (X-X) / / (X)
On seventh street Mercier looked down at his cards before putting in another bet. Singer, again, took his time but he couldn't find a way to fold his cards. As soon as he called Mercier announced he had a wheel and showed .
Singer was left behind with 18,000 chips and he'll need to make some hands quickly in order to stay alive in this event.
