Kenny Hsiung Eliminated in 9th Place ($55,996)

Still virtually down to the felt while everyone else was having a marvellous time flinging millions of chips around with kings and aces and whatnot, it was a pretty clinical affair for overnight chip leader Kenny Hsiung.

Hsiung: {K-Diamonds}

Daniel Alaei: {A-Spades}

You Win Some, You Lose Some

The very next hand, Pezzin found aces again -- but this time they came a cropper to Chad Brown's {J-Diamonds}

on the

board.

"You run bad, Pat," said Matt Glantz.

Brown's up to 1,050,000. Pezzin's still stacking his chips.

Biggest Pot of the Tournament

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ok, this one's complicated.

Matt Hawrilenko raised, and Pat Pezzin reraised from the cutoff. Daniel Alaei four-bet from the button, and over to Soheil Shamseddin in the big blind, who capped it. Hawrilenko got out of the way, and Pezzin and Alaei both called. Pretty monstrous already.

Flop: {5-Hearts}

Shamseddin bet out only for Pezzin to raise. Alaei called, and Shamseddin reraised. Pezzin four-bet, Alaei flatted again, Shamseddin capped it and and both players called. This is getting, as they say in my country, ma-hoosive.

Turn: {2-Hearts}

Shamseddin fired out again and Pezzin raised again; Alaei tanked this time but still called, and Shamseddin just called too.

River: Now Shamseddin just checked it and Pezzin moved all in for his last 34,000. Alaei finally folded, and Shamseddin called. Phew. On their backs.

Shamseddin: {K-Hearts}

Pezzin:

Shamseddin is down to just 125,000, while Pezzin appears to be our new chip leader on, well, he's still stacking them up.

Still Hsuing-ing In There

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kenny Hsuing got his chips in the middle and was thoroughly behind with {A-Hearts}

up against Daniel Alaei's pocket {10-Clubs}

. An ace on the flop doubled him up though -- he's still in, on 90,000.

Big Down-Hsuing for Kenny

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kenny Hsuing had been making a bit of a recovery, but meanwhile Matt Glantz had got himself right down into that unpleasant short stack place; neither was in the mood to take it easy.

Thus Glantz raised his button and called the reraise from Hsuing in the big blind to see a {Q-Spades}

flop. Hsuing bet out and Glantz called, and when Hsuing bet again on the {2-Diamonds}

turn, Glantz called all in for his last 28,000.

Hsuing: {10-Hearts}

Glantz:

Oh dear. Glantz doubles to 350,000, and Hsuing is down to just 50,000.

board. He's up to 510,000.

Brown Has the Goods

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With the pot capped preflop, Chad Brown check-called Soheil Shamseddin's bets on the {10-Clubs}

flop and

turn; both players checked the {3-Clubs}

river.

Brown tabled {A-Clubs}

to prop up his stack to 650,000.

Glantzing Downwards

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Matt Glantz has dropped even further to the murky depths of 300,000 after tangling with chip leader Daniel Alaei.

Alaei raised under the gun and Glantz reraised, but Alaei wasn't deterred and check-called the {6-Spades}

flop before check-raising the {4-Diamonds}
