Razz - wot a crazy game, I've never seen it before. It's basically anti-7 card stud with 2 down, 4 up, 1 down and the lowest hand takes it. There are no flushes or straights so A,2,3,4,5 is the nuts. It's basically a drawing game so it's kinda crappy and it's frustrating as hell. I won't ruin the result but if u wanna see Boyd in all sorts of pain, watch it 
PL Holdem - this was a great game with a nice final table. Hellmuth got done on 2 hands by double running flush draws which hurt even me to watch it. I like the guy despite all his whinging but he never seems to get the luck in televised events. His best quote tho, after saying that poker can be a game of luck "Well, if there were no luck involved, I'd win every time" Good result to this one, again, I won't ruin it tho.
Any1 else catch these? I'm a little behind being in the UK and all........

You think Razz is weird? Try playing deuce to seven lowball. Aces are always high, straights and flushes DO count and 7 high is the best hand (2 3 4 5 7)
