Short stacks get shorter once again -- Matt Glantz is down to 150,000.
Chad Brown raised it up in the cutoff and Glantz called out of the small blind to see a flop which they both checked.
Glantz bet out on the turn and Brown called; he proceeded to check the river and then call a bet from Brown after a brief tank. It was the wrong decision though -- when Brown flipped he mucked, and is not in very good shape now.
It's not looking good for a second bracelet for the Netherlands in this event -- Michiel Brummelhuis is down to 125,000.
Chad Brown raised in early position and Brummelhuis called from the small blind; chip leader Pat Pezzin came along for the ride from the big.
The flop checked around to Brown who bet, and Brummelhuis called. A fold from Pezzin and they were at the turn. Brummelhuis bet out and Brown raised; a call, and they saw the river.
Brummelhuis now checked -- and passed to a bet from Brown, leaving himself relative pocket change...
Wow, Soheil Shamseddin just will not depart this tournament for love nor (at least not 8th place) money.
He dropped a few more chips and had 130,000 total by the time Michiel Brummelhuis raised under the gun. Shamseddin reraised, Brummelhuis four-bet and Shamseddin called all in. On their backs.
Shamseddin:
Brummelhuis:
Flop:
Turn: , and some ooh-ing from the crowd.
"One time!" cried Shamseddin, really getting into this all-in lark now, "Pair the board! One time!"
"One time?" commented a disgruntled member of the Dutch press. "He'll have doubled up three times now."
River:
Shamseddin got his wish, and doubled one more time to 298,000.
Chad Brown is up to over a million in chips after raising from the cutoff and getting called by Greg Mueller in the big blind.
Mueller check-called the flop, and both players checked the turn. Mueller bet out on the dangerous looking river but Brown called and his flush was good to take the pot.
