Erick Lindgren raised to 50,000 from the small blind and Barry Greenstein, who has shown this afternoon that he seems to be the one in the mood to gamble the most, called from the big blind. Lindgren discarded one card, while Greenstein threw away two.
Both players checked after the flop. Greenstein turned over a jack-ten of all black cards to take down the pot. "Oh, they're all clubs!" he said with a smile, referring to Mike Matusow's gaffe last night when he didn't realize he held a club flush. The table roared at the joke, and even Matusow couldn't supress a smile.

Mike Matusow
Erick Lindgren raised to 45,000 from under the gun. Barry Greenstein folded and Jeffrey Lisandro made the call from the button. Mike Matusow called from the small blind as did Tom Schneider from the big blind.
There were four players to the draw. Matusow took one card and Schneider took two. Lindgren stood pat and Lisandro opted for one. Matusow was first to act and he slid out a leg of pink chips worth 100,000. One by one, each of his opponents folded. As Matusow awkwardly clung to his cards, Schneider said, "show it, Mikey!" Matusow replied "You guys know I made it." About ten seconds later, just as he mucked he quipped "...maybe."

Action folded around to Barry Greenstein on the button and he raised to 48,000. Jeffrey Lisandro called the raise from the small blind and Mike Matusow folded from the big blind. Each player drew one card and action was on Lisandro. He slid out 40,000. Greenstein looked him up and down and then eventually pushed out 140,000. Lisandro knew he'd been caught. He turned over and said "not a bad start." He then flashed the with it as he tossed in his hand. Barry Greenstein picked up the pot.

Since player came back from the break, play has not been quite so fast and furious. These players still seem willing to engage and are all likely playing for first place, it just seems based on their comments, they haven't had the cards to do it with. In three of the last five hands, the big blind player has gotten a walk and we haven't seen a showdown in about seven hands.

Lisandro: [inaudible]
Lindgren: We have a bet?
Lisandro: I said, I'll have to think about it.
Lindgren: Oh, you'll have to think about it. Funny thing about me, I always hear what I want to hear!

"You know Jamie Horowitz?" Lindgren asked Barry Greenstein.
Greenstein nodded yes.
Lindgren held out his mobile and read a text message aloud: "Don't lose your lead to a Jew!" Greenstein cracked a big smile.

Tom Schneider mucked a bit high in the air, prompting Greenstein to say, "Tom, could you not flash your cards? Because it does change the play." Schneider quickly nodded yes and raised a hand as if to say, "mea culpa."
