After losing the majority of his chips with a      board when an opponent made a seven-six with a      board, Joel Alpert got his last few thousand in a few hands later with   up. Frankie O'Dell and Rick Fuller played a side pot in which O'Dell had the lead with    until pairing sixth.

Jim Wheatley, showing    , got a short-stacked Tommy Chen, showing     all in on fifth street.

"Six draw versus a seven draw," Brent Keller remarked. Indeed, Chen turned over   , and Wheatley had   . Chen double paired, leaving his original five cards to stand as his hand, a jack-low. Wheatley was a bit more fortunate, catching an eight and a nine, more than enough to send Chen to the rail.

Jim Wheatley	290,000	170,000
Tommy Chen	0	-61,000

Sebastian Pauli and Frankie O'Dell started a third street raising war that ended with Frankie O'Dell all in. The boards ran out as follows:

O'Dell:

Ohel bet when he received a   on fourth, Back called receiving a  . On fifth, Ohel paired with another  . Bach bet with his  , Ohel called. Sixth street was a   for Ohel and a   for Bach. Bach bet, Ohel moved all in, and Bach called.

"I paired," Bach said. "But I can't fold just incase you had three sevens."

Ohel showed his made seven-six low with his    under and Bach was already drawing dead as he could only make an eight low.

After those two hands, Ohel and O'Dell are both still short, but now a little less short.

Frankie O'Dell	75,000	45,000

Alpert:   /     
Fuller:   /     

On third street Joel Alpert completed with his   showing. One other player called with a   before Rick Fuller made it two bets with his  . Action folded back to Alpert who made it three bets and only Fuller called.

On fourth street Fuller bet and Alpert called. On fifth street action was the same. On sixth street it was Alpert who bet and Fuller who called.

It was on seventh street that the dealer made an extreme error. He dealt both players their card face up instead of face down. Alpert received his   while Fuller was dealt a  .

"What are you doing?" Frankie O'Dell said angrily, standing up from his chair. "This is supposed to be the World Series of Poker."

The floor was called over and the ruling was made that since both players had the same disadvantage, they would continue the hand as normal. Both players checked on the river.

Alpert announced that he had a queen low, while Fuller announced that he had a jack low, showing his   and   under. Alpert stared at his hand for a while and snapped at the dealer when he went to grab it.

"I'll muck my own hand," he said, clearly a little frustrated at the situation.

Either way, Fuller was awarded the pot and he collected it quietly.

"It's better to be careful than fast," Randy Ohel said to the dealer after the hand, which most of the table agreed with.
