Barry Greenstein has been relieved of the rest of his short stack. We were too late to see when the money went in (it could have been preflop or on the flop), but whenever it was, Greenstein was in bad shape with 
against his opponent's 
.
The board ran 
, and that's all she wrote for Barry G. He's out short of the money, and his opponent gets a shiny new copy of his book with some scribbling in the front cover.
Felipe Ramos had a pretty bad day yesterday, grinding through with around 10,000 all day which somehow turned into almost 40,000 by bagging up time, still well below average.
He had a good day today, though, increasing that 40k to almost 200k at one point.
And now he's out.
We didn't catch the hand ourselves, but we understand that the general gist of it was jacks into queens, with a queen on the flop for good measure.
GG, Mr. Ramos.
William Thorson is down after getting all-in with 
against Masa Kagawa's 
which spiked a queen on the flop to bust the Swede.
...So good thing it's only for 15 minutes.
207 players remain, and they'll all be back soon.

All right, we're going to guess at the action here, since we walked up when most of the bets were already pulled in. From the positions, it looks like Sam Stein (cutoff) was the opening raiser to 6,000. On the button, Alex Gomes seems to have flatted, and Chad Brown moved all in for another 12,300 from the big blind. When it came back to Stein, he made it 38,000 to go, and Gomes reraised all in over the top. Stein quickly folded, and Brown jokingly said, "I call!" as the cards were turned up:
Brown: 
Gomes: 
"Good luck, Chad," Gomes gave the friendly wish. Brown did indeed find some luck as the board ran out 
to earn him the triple up. He's all the way over 50,000 now, and Stein slips to 105,000. Gomes just about broke even on that exchange -- in fact, it looks like he picked up about 6,000 from Stein. He's got about 140,000.
Another former EPT winner has bitten the dust. This time, it's Maxim Lykov who got his chips in with 
, running his walking sticks directly into the 
of a player across the table.
Board: 
GG, Max.
We found Joe Hachem (big blind) checking the turn of a 
board to Christian Harder (under the gun). Harder bet, and Hachem made the call.
The river was the 
and Hachem checked again, this time insta-folding to a 13,100 bet from Harder.
Hachem - dips to 160,000
Harder - improves to 75,000
The brand new and improved table of death now includes the following:
Seat 1: JP Kelly
Seat 2: Arnaud Mattern
Seat 4: John Juanda
Seat 6: Masa Kagawa
Seat 7: Chance Kornuth
Seat 9: Ivan Demidov
Most of these players, apart from Kelly and Demidov are fairly deep-stacked and it's certainly going to get interesting here...
Joe Hachem and Greg Raymer are sitting at the same table for the second time today, this time over in the far corner with Christian Harder in between them. We pick up a pot involving both of them.
Hachem was in the hijack seat, and he opened to 5,500. From the button, Greg Raymer quickly announced an all in, and the small blind folded. The gentleman in the big blind, though, asked for a count and re-shoved all in himself. Hachem ducked out of the way, and Raymer was heads up and at risk.
"I guess I ran into a big hand by accident," he lamented, and the big blind tabled 
. "Oh, I'm actually a small favorite," Raymer giggled, flipping up 
to race for his tournament life.
The flop was no fun, as it came 
to put Fossilman in a deep hole with two to come. The turn 
was a friendly card, though, as he added a flush draw to his list of outs. Sure enough, the landed on fifth street, drawing an awkward "Bink!" from Raymer as he made his flush and doubled up.
"I needed a bink there," he said. "Now I'm awake and everything."
He's awake and he still in the game; Raymer's doubled up over 80,000.
