Hand #269 - Glen Chorny

The button is with Denes Kalo in Seat 1.

Kalo raises it to 350,000 from the button and Chorny announces a reraise from the big blind, adding another 450,000 to the pot. Kalo folds and Chorny collects the pot.

Getting Punchy

This final table has gone on so long that spontaneous arm wrestling matches are breaking out in the bar, and several members of the German, Italian, and Scandinavian media are engaged in a game of blind man's bluff. Additionally, several members of the TV audience are asleep. It's 2:09 a.m. in Monaco and the remainder of the final table could easily take several more hours to finish.

Hand #263 - Chop Chop

The button is with Denes Kalo in Seat 1.

In a three-way limped pot the flop comes {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and all players check. The {7-Clubs} peels off on the turn, Villemure leads out for 300,000 and both opponents make the call. The {7-Hearts} lands on the river and eveyone checks. Villemure and Chorny both show K-9 to chop up the pot.

Hand #262 - Glen Chorny

Glen Chorny has the button in Seat 7 and opens with a 305,000 pre-flop raise and Maxime Villemure calls from the big blind. The flop comes {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Max passes the first option to Chorny who makes a continuation bet that earns him the pot.
