Birthday Praz-ent

Nonchalant in the face of approval

Matt Hawrilenko raised to 60,000 and Praz Bansi called, as did James Akenhead in the big blind. Interesting.

Flop: {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}

As TD Jack Effel said, "Check's good."

Turn: {6-Hearts}

Once again, checks all round.

River: {K-Hearts}

Hawrilenko now bet 90,000 -- and all of a sudden, Bansi raised to 300,000. Akenhead lost all interest and passed, and Hawrilenko was left with a serious decision. He stared intently, before his face melted into a an expression that suggested he wasn't going to call. Nevertheless he tanked up for a good long while -- but made the fold, and the first really convincing round of applause we've heard during this tournament echoed around the rail.

Hawrilenko is now our official shorty, on 513,000.
