One More Level

[user66118]

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

It's the last level of the night, and the last one in which we'll need those green T25 chips. An hour from now, the clock will be stopped, the greens will be colored up, and the survivors' chips will get bagged and tagged.

Going, Going, Greenstein

[user66118]

We caught a glimpse of Barry Greenstein exiting the tournament room with that familiar downtrodden look that he pulls off so well. Since we missed it, we didn't catch the details, but he was kind enough to fill us in through Twitter.

In 140 characters or less, tell us what happened, Barry: "Out with nines against peter jetten's Queens."

'Nuff said.
