2008 World Series of Poker
Event 26 - $1,500 Razz
Day: 1
Recent Eliminations
Jon "PearlJammer" Turner has also been eliminated. He was short on chips for most of the night and just couldn't seem to gather any traction to get going.
Greenstein Moving Up
Greenstein: (X) (X) (X)
James: (X) (X) (X)
On the last card, Greenstein checked, James bet, and then Greenstein raised. James turned up and mucked his hand. Greenstein opted to only show two out of his three down cards, before raking in the pot.
What a Run For Levi
Levi: (X) (X) (X)
Opponent: (X) (X) (X)
Levi was doing all the calling on third, fourth, and fifth. On sixth and seventh, he turned around and started leading out with bets, making his opponent be the caller. Levi then turned for a seven low and the winning hand.
He is now up to 21,000.
Greenstein Knocks Out James and Rich
Greenstein:
James: (X)
Rich: (X) (X)
Greenstein's hand held up and he was able to eliminate both James and Rich. He mentioned to our reporters afterwards that he has 31,000 chips and also wanted to know where he stood amongst the chip leaders. We told him he was up near the top and he smiled.
Day 1 Concludes
PokerNews reporter Jon Schwartz and blogger Dave "F-Train" Behr are also still left in the field after good performances on the first day.
