Nenad Medic Eliminated

Three players, including Nenad Medic limped in and saw a {K-?} {9-?} {4-?} flop. Action was checked around. The turn was a {Q-?}. The big blind bet 275, Medic called, a LP the hijack raised to 1,050, the big blind folded, Medic moved all in for 2,000 and got a call.

Unfortunately, Medic's opponent had turned a straight with {J-?} {10-?}, cracking his {K-?} {K-?}. The river was a 5 and Medic was bounced from the tournament just before the first break.

Picking Up the Pace

As level 2 draws to a close, the cries of "seat open" are becoming more and more frequent. Action must have gotten really wild over at table 20 as the dealer just shouted "three seats open, table 20!"

Runner-Runner Riverstein

Barry Greenstein raised it up to 300 from UTG, the small blind moved all in for 1,500 and Greenstein called.

Greenstein {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}

Small Blind {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

The flop was {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}, no help for Greenstein. The turn, though was the {10-Diamonds} and he picked up a flush draw. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Greenstein made the nut flush, snapping off his opponent's queens and eliminating him from the tournament. He's now up to 8,000.
