Bruel Doesn't Back Down

Patrick Bruel, who seems to attract cameras even when he's not in a pot, has been getting involved on day three as much as the previous two and somehow divides his time between betting and chatting to the press/rail with an equally relaxed air.

Just now he bet out 6k on a {7-Spades} {9-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} flop, picking up lone caller Eric Haik. The turn brought the {3-Spades} and another 14k bet. Haik thought a bit longer but called. The river {3-Diamonds} saw an equally nonchalant bet from Bruel, and this time Haik gave it a dwell, removing one ipod earbud and fixing his opponent with a stare.

At this exact moment, a player on the adjacent table's mobile phone rang with the tone "HAAAAAAAAALLELUJAH! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" which may have been some kind of prompt for Haik who passed.
