The kings crumble

Tony Bloom raised to 40,000 from middle position and Barry Greenstein reraised to 128,000 from the small blind. Bloom moved all in and Greenstein called.

Greenstein: {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

Bloom:

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

Once again, Bloom was at risk for his tournament life.

The flop came down {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

and Greenstein stayed ahead. The turn card though, spelled doom for Greenstein when the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

smahsed down. Bloom took the lead just like that and then went on to double after the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

hit the felt on the river.

Bloom doubled up to 700,000 and is the new chip leader just a couple hands after being one of the short stacks.
