Six-cess for Victor Greeley

[user108095]

Victor Greeley made it 15,500 to go from under the gun and was reraised to 35,500 by David Nin in the small blind. Greeley pushed all in for an additional 26,000 and Nin made the call with {Q-Hearts}

, completely dominating Greeley's {6-Hearts}

.

Domination wasn't all was cracked up to be though, as Greeley spiked a set on a flop of {6-Diamonds}

and added insult to injury by catching the {6-Clubs}

on the turn. The {K-Spades}

on the river didn't change a thing, and Greeley now sits behind 215,000 chips.

Jerry Fowler just cost himself 30,000 chips. After an early position player raised to 15,000, Fowler tossed out chips intending to call and see a flop, but accidentally threw in too many chips.

After a ruling it was deemed the bet was enough to be a minimum raise to 30,000. His opponent, perhaps sensing some weakness, then moved all in for another 100,000 and Fowler, as much as he wanted to see a flop, was forced to fold his hand. He slips to 145,000.

Michael Martin Chasing an Elusive Bracelet

[user67765]

One notable player still featuring prominently in this event this evening is American Michael Martin.

Martin tends to slip under the radar somewhat, giving off the appearance of just "another poker Joe" - an image that couldn't be further from the truth.

With over $3 million in career tournament earnings, highlighted by victory in the 2008 EPT London and a 5th place at the season-ending 2008 EPT Monte Carlo event, Martin is a highly accomplished player with one goal yet to be achieved - a WSOP bracelet.

This is Martin's fifth WSOP cash as he looks to make another deep run at the gold. He was recently helped by a very nice double up. Martin was all in preflop with {A-Clubs}
