Pezzin Back in Contention

Wow, Pat Pezzin is making a real comeback here.

He raised from the button and was called by Greg Mueller in the big blind which left them staring at a {5-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} flop. They both checked.

Mueller checked the {7-Clubs} turn too and Pezzin bet; Mueller called and they looked down at {3-Spades} river. Mueller checked once more and insta-called the bet from Pezzin -- but Pezzin showed him {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} for the straight, and Mueller mucked.

Pezzin's now up to 1.7 million, with Mueller still leader on 3.3 million and Chad Brown down to a piddling 450,000.

Tables Turn on the Short Stacks

Most unusually, Pat Pezzin limped in on the button and Chad Brown raised from the small blind. Call.

Brown bet out on the {10-Spades} {5-Spades} {2-Spades} flop and the {7-Clubs} turn and got himself called by Pezzin, and finally Brown check-called the {6-Clubs} river. Pezzin turned over {8-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} and is up 1.2 million; Brown meanwhile is our new short stack on 900,000.

Pezzin Doubles Up

This tournament may never end.

Last hand before the break, and it's a full double up for Pat Pezzin to 950,000.

Chad Brown raised the button and Pezzin called in the big blind.

Come the {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} flop Pezzin check-raised and then called all in to a reraise. Brown had top pair with {A-Spades} {2-Spades} but Pezzin had a flush draw and a gutshot with {10-Clubs}, the latter of which came in on the {J-Spades} turn. An irrelevant {8-Diamonds} on the river, and Pezzin was up to 950,000, Brown down to 1.55 million.

Negreanu Vs. Drunk Railer

Mr Daniel Negreanu has appeared to rail.

Drunk railer: "Daniel, you're the best player ever!"

Negreanu: "Thank you. I disagree, but thank you. Have you ever seen Phil Ivey? He's scary."

Drunk railer: "Ok, you're the best Canadian player ever."

Negreanu: "Oh, screw that."
