Jared Bleznick was debating a hand with 2009 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Lisandro. Bleznick was telling Lisandro he played a hand poorly before James Woods stopped them for a moment.
"Guys, guys, I'm all in," Woods said and they paused their conversation.
Woods was heads up against Xavier Kyablue and both players drew one. Woods showed and drew a queen. Kyablue was drawing to a ten and paired so Woods won the hand.
"Let me ask you this Jared," said Woods. "I had a queen there. Am I supposed to draw one?"
"Yeah, you played it perfectly," Bleznick replied.
"See, Jeffrey. I played it perfectly and you played poorly," Woods said.
The players laughed as Woods stacked his winnings. Bleznick did say several times that Lisandro was an excellent player, the best player at the table even, but that the particular play they were discussing was a poor play.
Steven Wolansky gave the table a nice sweat after moving all in pre-draw and getting put at risk by Naoya Kihara.
Kihara stood pat and Wolansky drew two. Kihara tabled queen-jack-ten and Wolansky showed his three held cards: nine-six-two. Wolansky slowly flipped over his first draw card, asking for a ten, and his wish came true.
Needing any non-paired card less than a queen, Wolansky flipped over an eight and secured his double-up.
Majid Yahyaei just fell in 37th place after getting outdrawn by Daniel Harmetz. Twice. Yahyaei had moved all in pre-draw and was called by Harmetz.
Yahyaei stood pat while Harmetz drew one. Yahyaei tabled a jack-ten low and Harmetz smiled, flipping over a jack-nine. Harmetz tossed his jack into the muck and the dealer gave him an eight, improving his hand, and busting Yahyaei.
For several orbits, Rob Rightmire had been clinging on to his tournament life. Hand after hand, each of the surrounding tables waited for the shortest stack to get his chips in the middle.
With the blinds just passing through and paying the ante, Rightmire had just one 100 chip behind. When action folded around, he tossed it in the middle from the button. Jared Bleznick attempted to isolate in the small blind, raising to 5,000, but Brad Helm called out of the big blind.
Bleznick and Helm each drew one card with Rightmire swapping two. The side pot was checked down and Helm took the hand with a ten-eight. Rightmire tabled a jack-eight and was eliminated, leaving the remaining field in the money.
Michael Gathy has just over 12,000 chips and in two hands was eliminated from the tournament in 42nd place.
On the first hand, Gathy raised to 3,000. Alex Foxen and Frank Kassela both called. Kassela drew two while Gathy and Foxen both stood pat. Kassela led for 12,000. Gathy thought for close to two minutes before calling. Foxen folded and Kassela won the hand with a nine-seven.
In the second hand, Frank Kassela opened the button to 4,000 into Gathy's big blind. Gathy was all in for less than the blind and his ante. Ben Ponzio was in the small blind and went all in for around 30,000. Kassela folded face up and Ponzio won the side pot. Ponzio stood pat with and Gathy drew one but missed and was eliminated.
The tournament is now on the money bubble after the Gathy elimination and is hand-for-hand.
