A Glantzing Blow for Brown

Chad Brown raised his button and got a call from Matt Glantz in the big blind; they saw a {5-Clubs} {K-Spades} {6-Clubs} flop. Glantz checked, but then raised to a bet from Brown; Brown didn't fancy it, and Glantz took the pot.

Klecan Getting Short

Mark Klecan is down to 180,000 after getting involved with with Greg Mueller in a blind on blind confrontation.

They limp-checked their way to the {8-Spades} {5-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} flop and Mueller bet; Klecan called and they proceeded.

Turn: {8-Clubs}

Mueller now checked, but called a bet from Klecan.

River: {9-Hearts}

Now Mueller bet out again. Klecan gave it up, and is now in the danger zone.

A Lot for Alaei

Daniel Alaei raised and was met with a reraise form Greg Mueller on the button. A call, and on they went. Alaei check-called the {2-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} flop and the {4-Spades} turn. Both players checked the {4-Clubs} river, and Alaei's pocket nines took the pot, Mueller just a shade behind with pocket eights.

Alaei now has 980,000 for the chip lead, while Mueller dips to 390,000.

Klecan He Do It?

Klecan he, can't he...
Klecan he, can't he...
Oh dear, disaster for Klecan -- he's down to just 50,000.

Chad Brown raised and Greg Mueller reraised. Short stack Klecan four-bet and Brown gave it up, but a call from Mueller later and they saw a flop.

Flop: {4-Spades} {4-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

Mueller check-called a bet from Klecan. Onwards.

Turn: {5-Clubs}

Check, check. Interesting.

River: {A-Spades}

Another check from Mueller, and this time a raise to Klecan's bet. A call -- but Klecan mucked when Mueller turned over {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} for top two, leaving himself just 35,000 behind. Yikes.

Not long after, Klecan moved all in to a raise from Mueller and got called by both Soheil Shamseddin and Mueller. Both players checked the {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} flop and Shamseddin checked the {10-Hearts} turn as well. When Mueller bet, he passed, and he and Klecan were on their backs.

Mueller: {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} for a straight
Klecan: {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} for, er, a pair of fives

But...

River: {J-Spades}

Chop! Klecan stays in -- with his share of the blinds, he's up to 50,000.

Pat on the Head for Pezzin

Michiel Brummelhuis raised and apparently got zero respect -- he got called in three spots by Pat Pezzin, Brown and Mueller in the big blind.

The {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} {10-Spades} was checked to Pezzin who bet; Mueller passed but everyone else called.

Again the {2-Hearts} flop checked to Pezzin who bet; this time Brummelhuis gave it up, and it was him and Brown heads up to the river.

Both players checked the {6-Hearts} river, and they flipped their cards. Brown showed {A-Spades} {J-Spades} for a straight and flush draw that never happened, and dropped to 500,000; Pezzin's set of nines took the pot to put him up to 650,000.

Hsuings and Roundabouts

Kenny Hsiung, who started the day as chip leader and was at one point up to over a million in chips, is now our short stack.

He raised from the cutoff and was called by big blind Michiel Brummelhuis to see an {A-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} flop. Brummelhuis checked and Hsiung bet; Brummelhuis called.

They checked down the {9-Hearts} turn and {Q-Clubs} river and Brummelhuis flipped {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} for a pair of jacks. Hsiung couldn't beat it and mucked; he's down to around 300,000.
