Stalemate?

The players continue to avoid getting involved in any big confrontations. No player is under any pressure from the blinds at the moment, with the shortest stack still in excess of 30 big blinds deep. There are five minutes until the next level change, so perhaps the action will kick up a gear after the next break.

Hand #185 - Isaac Baron

The button is with Glen Chorny in Seat 7.

Chorny raises to 175,000 and Isaac Baron calls from the small blind. Denes Kalo also calls from the big blind.

The flop brings the {8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} and it's checked around. The turn is the {5-Clubs} and all check again. The river is the {Q-Diamonds} and Baron finally takes a stab at the pot with a bet of 375,000. Kalo folds and Chorny thinks for a moment before also tossing his cards into the muck.

Hand #184 - Denes Kalo

Maxime Villemure has the button in Seat 6. Denes Kalo raises to 180,000 and Isaac Baron calls from the big blind. The flop is {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades} and both plalyers check. The turn is the {10-Diamonds}. Baron bets 235,000 and gets a quick call from Kalo. The river is the {2-Hearts}. Baron checks and Kalo checks behind. Kalo shows {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for two pair and takes it down.

With that pot, Denes Kalo moves into the chip lead with 4,015,000.
