Kenny Do It?

[user46392]

...And no sooner than Brown had dipped down into the danger zone than Kenny Hsuing overtook him, or undertook, as the case may be, to take his place as our official short stack.

He called a button raise in the big blind from Soheil Shamseddin and made it as far as the river of the {K-Clubs}

board before folding. He dropped to a mere 235,000, while Shamseddin is sitting pretty on 620,000.

----

Shortly afterwards, Hsuing got involved in a blind on blind confrontation with Greg Mueller. He raised pre from the small blind and bet out on the {9-Clubs}

flop; Mueller called. They both checked the {8-Diamonds}

turn and Hsuing tried another bet on the {K-Hearts}

river, but Mueller insta-called and tabled {7-Hearts}

to beat Hsuing's {A-Spades}

. Hsuing down to just 120,000 now. Eek.

Glantzing Downwards

[user46392]

Matt Glantz has dropped even further to the murky depths of 300,000 after tangling with chip leader Daniel Alaei.

Alaei raised under the gun and Glantz reraised, but Alaei wasn't deterred and check-called the {6-Spades}

flop before check-raising the {4-Diamonds}

turn to make Glantz fold.

Alaei: 1.4 million

flop and

turn; both players checked the {3-Clubs}

river.

to prop up his stack to 650,000.

Big Down-Hsuing for Kenny

[user46392]

Kenny Hsuing had been making a bit of a recovery, but meanwhile Matt Glantz had got himself right down into that unpleasant short stack place; neither was in the mood to take it easy.

Thus Glantz raised his button and called the reraise from Hsuing in the big blind to see a {Q-Spades}

flop. Hsuing bet out and Glantz called, and when Hsuing bet again on the {2-Diamonds}

turn, Glantz called all in for his last 28,000.

Hsuing: {10-Hearts}

Glantz:

Oh dear. Glantz doubles to 350,000, and Hsuing is down to just 50,000.

Still Hsuing-ing In There

[user46392]

Kenny Hsuing got his chips in the middle and was thoroughly behind with {A-Hearts}

up against Daniel Alaei's pocket {10-Clubs}

. An ace on the flop doubled him up though -- he's still in, on 90,000.

Biggest Pot of the Tournament

[user46392]

Ok, this one's complicated.

Matt Hawrilenko raised, and Pat Pezzin reraised from the cutoff. Daniel Alaei four-bet from the button, and over to Soheil Shamseddin in the big blind, who capped it. Hawrilenko got out of the way, and Pezzin and Alaei both called. Pretty monstrous already.

Flop: {5-Hearts}

Shamseddin bet out only for Pezzin to raise. Alaei called, and Shamseddin reraised. Pezzin four-bet, Alaei flatted again, Shamseddin capped it and and both players called. This is getting, as they say in my country, ma-hoosive.

Turn: {2-Hearts}

Shamseddin fired out again and Pezzin raised again; Alaei tanked this time but still called, and Shamseddin just called too.

River: Now Shamseddin just checked it and Pezzin moved all in for his last 34,000. Alaei finally folded, and Shamseddin called. Phew. On their backs.

Shamseddin: {K-Hearts}

Pezzin:

Shamseddin is down to just 125,000, while Pezzin appears to be our new chip leader on, well, he's still stacking them up.
