John Turner Takes a Pot from Barry Greenstein

John Turner just played a big hand against Barry Greenstein. The players showed:

Turner: (X) (X) {A-?} {4-?} {A-?} {2-?}
Greenstein: (X) (X) {6-?} {8-?} {K-?} {6-?}

With the exception of fifth street, where Turner check-raised, he bet every street and Greenstein called. On sixth street, Greenstein gave up his hand and Turner took the pot and showed ({Q-?}) ({3-?}) {A-?} {4-?} {A-?} {2-?}.

Back-to-Back WSOP Player of the Year?

It's too early to be making any predictions, but this is Tom Schneider's fifth cash already in the year's WSOP. If Schneider goes deep in a few more events or wins a bracelet, he may be a lock for the unprecedented honor of back-to-back Player of the Year awards.

In the Money

Dale Pinchot is our bubble boy. Eliminated in 49th place, Pinchot's exit was courtesy of Barry Greenstein. Pinchot commented that Greenstein had to go runner-runner-runner to beat him, and apparently Barry did just that.

Standby...

While play is hand for hand, our tournament field reporters have been asked to leave the tournament area. Needless to say, this makes reporting difficult if not impossible. Live updates should resume very soon. Please stay with us...

Hieu Ma Eliminated

Hieu Ma was all in on third street against James Seely. The players showed:

Ma: ({A-?}) ({3-?}) {2-?}
Seely: ({A-?} ({9-?}) {2-?}

Ma had a great starting hand and looked to double up. However come showdown, those hopes were dashed.

Ma: ({A-?}) ({3-?}) {2-?} {6-?} {6-?} {6-?} ({Q-?})
Seely: ({A-?} ({9-?}) {2-?} {10-?} {8-?} {Q-?} ({J-?})


Hieu Ma was eliminated just two spots off the money.
