Pezzin's Not Going Anywhere Just Yet
Pezzin bet out on the flop and called a raise from Brown; they both then cagily checked down the turn and river, at which point Pezzin discovered that his had got lucky against Brown's .
------
The next hand and Pezzin picked up a few more chips when he forced a fold from Greg Mueller on the turn of a board.
Pezzin's up to 960,000; Mueller's down to a very similar 1 million in chips.
The Tables Turn - Again
He raised it up from the small blind and got a call from Chad Brown in the big blind, and then bet out on the flop. Brown called and then it was his turn to be the aggressor -- Pezzin merely check-called Brown's bets on the turn and river.
Pezzin tabled for, well, just ace-high, but Brown couldn't beat it and Pezzin is up to 1.45 million. Mueller is now our short stack on 1 million straight.
You Pezzin Your Money...
Greg Mueller raised from the button and got a call from our friend Pezzin in the small blind.
Pezzin tried a check-raise on the flop, but thereafter eased off and just check-called Mueller's bets on the turn and river. Mueller turned over for two pair, and Pezzin just mucked, leaving himself 640,000.
Current Counts
Pat Pezzin: 640,000
Chad Brown: 3.35 million
Sue! Straight Flush for Mueller
All three checked the flop -- very friendly indeed.
They saw a turn all together, just like a real family, but this time Chad Brown spoiled the party and bet out. Greg Mueller decided to raise and short-stacked Pezzin ducked out of their way, but a call from Brown later and they were at the turn.
Brown now checked and Mueller bet. Brown raised, Mueller reraised, Brown four-bet and Mueller capped it; Brown called. This is not what happy families do.
But fair enough, as Mueller turned over for the straight flush. Wow. Mueller took the pot and moved into the chip lead on 2.6 million; Brown meanwhile just shook his head sadly and mucked, as he dropped back to second place on 2.2 million.
Still Three-Way
He raised his button and called a reraise from Chad Brown to see a flop. Brown bet out and Pezzin raised; a call, and they saw a dangerous-looking turn. Both players checked, and Brown tried one last bet on the river -- but his was no good against Pezzin's and Pezzin is back up above the 1 million mark.
