"I'll make it 359,000!" announced Hansen, moving all his chips into the middle.

Greenstein: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Stern: {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

The flop came down {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades} {2-Spades} and Greenstein flopped another set. Stern wasn't dead yet though, he did have a gutshot straight draw.

The turn and river were both eights, first the {8-Diamonds} then the {8-Hearts} and Greenstein finished off Stern with his full house. He moved up to a field-leading 475,000 chips.

First he raised UTG to 15,000 but folded to Roberto Romanello's 3-bet out of the small blind.

Finally Ivey raised to 17,000 from the small blind against Tony G. The latter folded to a 25,000 bet on the {Q-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} flop.

The board ran out {6-Spades} {5-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} and Shak was able to double though Greenstein to 400,000. Greenstein dropped to 290,000.

Buying the Bar

Tony G
Tony G
Tony G must be feeling pretty cheerful over on the feature table. He just bought a round of drinks for everyone in the audience. There's about 40-50 people up in the balcony railing the action and they all gave a round of applause to Tony G for the gesture.
