Johnny Chan Eliminated By Barry Greenstein

Level 5

No-Limit Hold'em

The third elimination of the event has just taken place, as 10-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Johnny Chan has fallen. He was eliminated by Barry Greenstein in stunning set-over-set fashion.

"All in and call," was the announcement from the dealer at the table with a board of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} in the middle. Chan was the player at risk, and he held the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a set of eights. Greenstein had the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for top set and the most chips.

The river completed the board with the {4-Hearts}, which was no miracle for Chan, and he was eliminated. That's now three eliminations on the day, whereas last year only David Singer was eliminated on Day 1.
