Scott Adaska put out a bet on sixth street and received a call from David Bach. Action repeated itself on seventh, and then Adaska discovered the bad news.

Adaska ended up with three pair, meaning his low was 2-2-10-8-5. Bach didn't have any pairs and won the sizable pot with a 8-7-4-2-A low.
As we were writing the last two elimination post, Amir Namatinia was eliminated from the tournament by Ted Forrest.
David Bach said that the mustochioed Namatinia had a seven draw, but missed and ended up with a queen low. Forrest managed to make a nine-six low and that was all she wrote for Namatinia.
After Todd Dakake was eliminated in 16th place in unknown action, Bill Chen followed him out the door in 15th.
In Chen's final hand, he got the last of his chips on fifth street against David Bach, who if you recall finished runner-up in this very event last year.

Chen had started with the best possible three cards in razz, but a bad run out saw him finish with a 9-8-3-2-A low. Unfortunately for him, that wasn't good enough to beat Bach's 9-6-5-4-A low.
Rebecca Kerl was the short stack coming back from the dinner break, so it wasn't surprising to see the last woman in the field fall in 17th place. Here demise came over the course of two hands.
In the first, Kerl called a bet on fourth from Scott Adaska. She did the same on fifth and then bet out 8,000 when she took the lead on sixth. Adaska called and then both players checked seventh.

Adaska tabled his 8-5-3-2-A low and it was good as Kerl mucked. That left her with just 11,500, and a short time later she got it all in from the get go against Phil Hellmuth.

Hellmuth: / /
Kerl ended with a 7-6-5-4-3 low, but it was no good as Hellmuth had made a 6-5-4-2-A low.
"Good game," some players offered Kerl.
"Thank you, I had a blast," she said before making her way to the payout desk in 16th place.
