Barry Greenstein Eliminated

In the hand previous to his elimination, Barry Greenstein did not call a bet from Cornel Andrew Cimpan and instead opted to leave himself with 600 chips. Cimpan implored him, "Come on, Barry. Give me the book!" (referring to the signed copy of Ace on the River Greenstein gives to the opponent that felts him at a tournament.) However, Barry wanted to save on to his last chips for another hand.

On the next hand, Greenstein was all in from the small blind. Cimpan tried his best to get in the pot so he could receive an autographed copy of the book, however another player pushed him out of the pot and went on to eliminate Greenstein.
