Srinivasan Grabs The Lead

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

"They can't fill the seats fast enough," Kyle Sorel said, "This guy is on a tear," he added as Shyam Srinivasan knocked out his third player in almost as many hands.

Borja Bejarano just moved all in from the small blind and Srinivasan had the chips counted down. When he heard it was 77,500 he made the call from the big blind.

Srinivasan: {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Bejarano: {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Bejarano was eliminated. Srinivasan grabs the chip lead as he's now sitting on 1.16 million.

For Whom The Bell Tolls

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We arrived at the table in time to find David Bell all in and at risk against Norman Balla on a flop of {K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Bell showed {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for an open-ended straight draw while Balla tabled {A-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for top pair with top kicker.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs}, meaning hat Bell needed to hit his straight draw in order to stay alive in the tournament. Alas, the {J-Hearts} hit the river and Bell was forced to the rail. Balla scooped up the pot and now has about 195,000 in chips.

Max, Sam and Luc Greenwood All Running Deep

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

So far, one of the biggest stories that has developed in the 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event has been the deep run that is being made by the Greenwood brothers, Max, Sam and Luc.

Of the three, Max is the most successful in the live poker realm, but that could all very well change in this event. Max does boast $1,285,477 in career live tournament earnings, while Sam has $390,782 and Luc has $203,048. Sam is currently doing the best in this event, though, with over 800,000 chips in his stack while his two brothers are well below the average stack.

The largest score of Max's career came in 2008 when he won a $1,000 event at the World Series of Poker for a payday of $693,392. Sam's largest score came much more recent and was worth $99,076. He took second in a side event at the European Poker Tour Prague. Luc's largest score actually came in this very event, when he took 21st in 2010 for $75,000.

Combined, the Greenwood trio has combined for $1,879,307. That includes 29 WSOP cashes and three World Poker Tour cashes.
