Sorry for the hijack, but was Bloch one of the MIT kids in Bringing Down the House or something of the like?

Someone point me towards the story or something?

Excuse me for complaining, but...

Isn't Razz an extremely dead game? How often is it actually put in mixed cash games anymore?

Man, there are a lot of one trick ponies whose only credentials are in NLHE tournaments in this event. Gotta believe a large portion of them have little shot.

Then again, as Greenstein once said (which is very ironic)- tournaments are an ego flaw.

I read something where Fishman said when he won the HORSE event that he wasn't that comfortable with a couple of the variations (Stud and Razz I think) so he just played Uber tight during those levels and acumulated his money in Holdem and Omaha.

So you can do well if you are a one trick pony provided you know how to adjust.

Hellmuth Arrives...Late Again
Phil Hellmuth arrives late, as per his style, in level 3 of the H.O.R.S.E. event.

More Marked Cards

RAZZ

Max Pescatori and David Grey found more marked cards at their table, again on Andy Bloch's table. Bloch called the floor manager over again to resolve the problem and there was a discussion as to whether the table even got new cards like they'd asked for. Every other table got a new setup of cards taken out of the original plastic after the first dispute, but Bloch's table apparently didn't and got marked cards again. How ironic.

Looks like Andy's complaints didn't work:
