Greenstein Doubles Through Austin

Richard Austin limps the button and Barry Greenstein made up the small blind, Nate Lindsay checked in the big blind.

The flop was {Q-Hearts} {10-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and Greenstein led out for 32,000. Lindsay folded and Austin made the call.

On the {5-Clubs} turn, Greenstein checked and Austin bet 110,000. Greenstein check-raised all in and Austin sighed and called with {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} for top two but needing one of two queens as Greenstein flipped {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for middle set.

The river was the {4-Spades} and Greenstein doubled to 670,000 leaving the $5,000 PLO bracelet winner with just 200,000.

Lunkin's 'Unusual' Bet

Matt Graham raises preflop and Vitaly Lunkin calls in the big blind.

The flop is {9-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {2-Spades} and Lunkin check-calls a bet of 56,000 before leading out for 198,000 on the {4-Spades} turn.

"Unusual..." says Graham but he folds.

Greenstein, Then Marcus Doubles

Barry Greenstein raised to 50,000. Van Marcus and Robin Keston made the call. The flop was {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} and it was checked to Marcus who bet 50,000. Keston folded and Greenstein moved all in for 18,000 more, Marcus quickly called.

Greenstein: {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}
Marcus: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {6-Spades}

This put the Bear back up to 320,000 and Marcus was knocked down to 215,000.

However the Aussie doubled back up soon after after his {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {2-Diamonds} held against Nenad Medic's {Q-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {5-?} {3-?} on a {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {A-?} {J-Diamonds} board.

Matt Vengrin Eliminated in 19th Place ($25,817)

Matt Vengrin - 19th Place
Matt Vengrin - 19th Place
We caught the action on a flop of {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} with the pot already swelled, Matt Vegrin had moved all in for his last 232,000 and Matt Graham was in the tank.

After a long deliberation, Graham made the call.

Vengrin: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Graham: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and river the {2-Spades} and Vegnrin can't catch anything and is eliminated in 19th place.

The players will now redraw for the final two tables. We'll have the new lineup for you shortly.

Arieh Takes The Pot Away

With the board reading {6-Spades} {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} Ferit Gabriellson led out for 30,000 and Matt Vengrin made the call. Josh Arieh then raised to 135,000 but neither of the other two could make the call despite both thinking Arieh was bluffing.
