Big Stacks Are Still Big

Meanwhile not much change between the big stacks.

Greg Mueller raised his button and Brown called in the big blind, but barring a bet from Mueller and a call from Brown on the turn, they checked down the {7-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {9-Diamonds} board and Mueller took it down with {9-Spades} {6-Spades}.

Mueller: chip leader on 2.7 million
Brown: chip runner-upper currently on 2.2 million

Pezzin Rollercoaster Continues

Blind on blind, Greg Mueller raised and Pat Pezzin called.

Mueller kept up the aggression on the {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {7-Hearts} flop -- he led out, and then three-bet to a raise from Pezzin, who called.

Bet-call, bet-call on the {4-Spades} turn and {6-Spades} river, at which point Mueller flipped over pocket kings to take the pot. Nice.

Mueller: 2.9 million
Pezzin: right back down to 450,000

Negreanu Vs. Drunk Railer

Mr Daniel Negreanu has appeared to rail.

Drunk railer: "Daniel, you're the best player ever!"

Negreanu: "Thank you. I disagree, but thank you. Have you ever seen Phil Ivey? He's scary."

Drunk railer: "Ok, you're the best Canadian player ever."

Negreanu: "Oh, screw that."

Pezzin Doubles Up

This tournament may never end.

Last hand before the break, and it's a full double up for Pat Pezzin to 950,000.

Chad Brown raised the button and Pezzin called in the big blind.

Come the {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} flop Pezzin check-raised and then called all in to a reraise. Brown had top pair with {A-Spades} {2-Spades} but Pezzin had a flush draw and a gutshot with {10-Clubs}, the latter of which came in on the {J-Spades} turn. An irrelevant {8-Diamonds} on the river, and Pezzin was up to 950,000, Brown down to 1.55 million.

Tables Turn on the Short Stacks

Most unusually, Pat Pezzin limped in on the button and Chad Brown raised from the small blind. Call.

Brown bet out on the {10-Spades} {5-Spades} {2-Spades} flop and the {7-Clubs} turn and got himself called by Pezzin, and finally Brown check-called the {6-Clubs} river. Pezzin turned over {8-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} and is up 1.2 million; Brown meanwhile is our new short stack on 900,000.

Pezzin Back in Contention

Wow, Pat Pezzin is making a real comeback here.

He raised from the button and was called by Greg Mueller in the big blind which left them staring at a {5-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} flop. They both checked.

Mueller checked the {7-Clubs} turn too and Pezzin bet; Mueller called and they looked down at {3-Spades} river. Mueller checked once more and insta-called the bet from Pezzin -- but Pezzin showed him {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} for the straight, and Mueller mucked.

Pezzin's now up to 1.7 million, with Mueller still leader on 3.3 million and Chad Brown down to a piddling 450,000.
