Hand #152 - Isaac Baron

The button is with Maxime Villemure in Seat 6.

Isaac Baron raises pre-flop and is called by Glen Chorny and Denes Kalo.

The flop arrives {9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and all players check. The turn is the {A-Clubs} and Baron fires out a 460,000 bet which Kalo calls. Chorny folds.

The river is the {7-Clubs} and both check again. Baron shows {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} as Kalo shows {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a monster draw that didn't deliver.

Hands #150-151 - Unknown, Glen Chorny

Hand #150 - Unknown action. PokerStars' cameras keep cutting away on the feed, preventing us from seeing some hands.

Hand #151 - Denes Kalo has the button in Seat 1. Maxime Villemure completes the small blind and Glen Chorny checks his option. The flop is {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and both players check. The turn is the {5-Hearts}. Villemure checks, Chorny bets 150,000, Villemure folds and Chorny wins the pot.

Hand #148 - Glen Chorny

Maxime Villemure has the button in Seat 6. He limps, Glen Chorny raises to 225,000 and Villemure calls. The flop is {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Chorny bets 275,000 and Villemure calls. The turn is the {4-Diamonds}. Chorny checks, Villemure bets 400,000 and Chorny calls. The river is the {6-Diamonds} and both players check. Chorny shows {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and it's good enough to take it down.

Hands #137-147

Fortunately for us, the past ten hands or so have been relatively uneventful, with the exception of a 750,000 pot Denes Kalo took from Glen Chorny. The hand saw Chorny fire a 225,000 bet on the river with the board showing {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Kalo called, tabling 8-7 for two pair, which was good enough to take down the pot. Chorny shook his head in apparent disgust and mucked -- he is rumored to have flashed a queen.
