We found Gary Benson putting a shorter-stacked player at risk on sixth street, with Benson holding and up against a pair of tens. Benson already had a lock on the low but he nailed a flush for the high when he got the on the river.
"What a waste against a short stack," Craig Chait said with a laugh.
Doug Lorgeree was facing an opponent showing a strong board with three clubs and then a pair of aces but he fired away into him nonetheless until he got raised on seventh.

Lorgeree came back with another raise and his opponent called.

Picking up action on sixth street, action checked to Mike Cordell and he led out with a bet. He was called by Ray Henson as well as two other players.
On seventh, Cordell checked as did everyone else. Cordell just showed for a seven-six low. While Henson and the player with queens mucked. The third player in the hand showed for two pair and he would take down half the pot as well.
Henson looked at his cards a few times and was left shaking his head after the hand.
"Drink water Mike. You need to drink water." That's what Eli Elezra was saying to Mike Matusow as Matusow shouted to him from a few tables over. Matusow then stood up from his chair holding a bottle of water.
"I have water. It says, Mike Matusow, 11th place finisher," Matusow said, fanning his hand across his bottle. "I was at the worst table and we were having fun and they made me do a Fireball, whatever that is," he continued.
"Drink water Mike! Drink more water," Elezra said.
Matusow then sat at the table and was dealt a as his up card.
"How much do you need now? 50 more?" Matusow asked, fumbling with his chips. "This table is almost as bad as the old one because I have to pay 50 every hand."
Steve Albini: /
Dan Zack: /
Player 1: /
Matusow was the bring in and the player showing the completed. Albini then called and Dan Zack called as well. On fourth street Albini bet with the lead and took down the pot as everyone folded.
Matusow continued with his rambling after the hand, but the rest of his table seemed more tuned into the poker than him.
Craig Chait was clipped in the last hand before the break. Here's how the action went down:
Craig Chait: //
Opponent: //
Picking up the action on fifth street, Chait's opponent bet and he called. Chait called another bet on sixth and one more on seventh. The player showed for two pair and a low while Chait could only show for a pair of aces. He was cut down to just 900 chip after the hand.
