After reraising from the big blind to a raise from Greg Mueller in the small blind, he bet every street of the board. Mueller called the flop and turn, but raised on the river. Hawrilenko called, but mucked in disgust when Mueller turned over for two pair. "I didn't think that was a bad card for me," he lamented.
If anything, the earlier-than-scheduled dinner break has made our final six tighten up. Every hand played since we came back has been small, and there's been little change in the stacks. Looks like it's going to be a long night.
Seat 2 Matt Hawrilenko 725,000
Seat 4 Pat Pezzin 1,300,000
Seat 5 Daniel Alaei 1,200,000
Seat 6 Chad Brown 1,050,000
Seat 8 Matt Glantz 310,000
Seat 9 Greg Mueller 1,000,000
The TV folks need to take a break in a few minutes for something or other, so the players have decided to take their 60 minute dinner break then to minimize disruption.
Michiel Brummelhuis raised his button and Daniel Alaei called him in the big blind.
Alaei check-raised the flop and Brummelhuis accordingly raise-called to see the turn. Alaei bet out this time and Brummelhuis called, and they moved on to the river, which both players checked.
Alaei turned over , and a dejected Brummelhuis mucked, flashing the .
Down to 115,000 after that, Brummelhuis moved all in to an under the gun raise from Matt Glantz and got called by Pat Pezzin on the button and Chad Brown on the big blind, as well as Glantz.
Brown ducked out to a bet on the flop from Glantz, and thereafter Glantz and Pezzin checked it down.

Thus we lose our colourful Dutchman in 7th, and we continue six-handed.
A bit of a recovery for Daniel Alaei. Like frankly almost all the players left in right now, he had at one point been chip leader but had since slipped to around 600,000. Now he's back up to 900,000 after raising preflop and then calling a reraise from Chad Brown on the button.
Alaei check-called all the way to the river of the until Brown checked behind on the river. Alaei turned over and it was good -- Brown shook his head and mucked.
