Keller led on fourth, Glantz called, Eslami raised, Keller three-bet, Glantz called, Glantz made it four bets, Keller capped it at five, and both opponents called.
"Two maniacs from the Commerce," Glantz joked as he found himself caught in the middle of a raising war.
Glantz was the only one with no pair on fifth and led, Eslami raised, Keller cold-called, Glantz made it three bets, and both opponents called.
"I'm I really the low pair?" Eslami commented on sixth as he led, and both Keller and Glantz called as finally just a single bet went in.
Eslami led a final time on seventh, getting two calls again as he tabled 5x3x2x in the hole, announcing, "I had two pair but improved," and he collected a massive pot for this early in the tournament as his six propels him to the chip lead.
