Greco Doubles Through Hamrick, Swears Loudly

Greco - sweary
Greco - sweary
Michael Greco raised to 50,000 in early position and small blind Dean Hamrick reraised. "Ok," said Greco, "I'm all in. I've got aces. If it's a call, it's a call." It was a call, and it wasn't aces.

Greco: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Hamrick: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

"Don't worry," sighed Hamrick, "I can't win with this hand."

Board: {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {5-Spades} {2-Hearts} {6-Clubs}

"YES!" cried Greco. "Man, I NEVER win f***ing races," -- this in the face of all the evidence. Once again the dealer upbraided him for swearing. Naughty.

Greco: 600,000
Hamrick: 510,000

27th and 26th Eliminated

David Goldklang has just been eliminated by Gualter Santos. He got it in good holding {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} to Santos' {A-Hearts} {5-Clubs}. Whil the board was being revealed he was shouting, "No ace, no ace." Bad luck for him though as the {A-Diamonds} fell at last to bust him very late in the day.

Ryan Barwacz followed him soon after in 26th spot

Dead Wood

Ernst Hermans raised from UTG before Mihai Manole three-bet from the next seat and Bill Wood called all in from one more seat along. Hermans moved out of the way but seemed very interested that Manole tabled {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Wood was in good shape with {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} until the board came {3-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {A-Spades}. Woods out in 28th spot.

Greco Doubles Up, Loudly

A double up for British ex-soap star turned poker pro Michael Greco. Pretty short, he shoved under the gun with {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs} and got looked up by David Lerman in the small blind holding {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}.

Board: {10-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} {3-Clubs}

Bellowed a by now rather tipsy Greco, "Come on baby, my sevens are BEAUTIFUL! I love sevens, they are the f***ing NUTS!" He continued for a while, but eventually the dealer upbraided him for swearing. He apologized.
