Greenhaw Jack'd Out

Nadav Benjosef opened to 14,000 from under the gun only to have Brandon Greenhaw three-bet to 30,000 from the cutoff.

With the action back on Benjosef, he moved all in and Greenhaw made the call for roughly his remaining 140,000.

Greenhaw: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Benjosef: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to see Greenhaw eliminated as Benjosef soars to 465,000 in chips.

Gillis Gone

John Myung opened to 14,500 from middle position only to have Andrew Gillis move all in for 56,000 from the big blind. Myung called and we were off to a showdown.

Myung: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Gillis: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Unfortunately for Gillis he would see a {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board spread to end his tournament as Myung climbs to 187,000 in chips.

Action from the Back Section

More action now than a Die Hard boxset as no less than three players move all in preflop, even John Myung fighting temptation on the button with {A-}{K-}. Inevitably, he ducked out of the way, and three monster hands were revealed:

Seat 3 - Elliott Harrah: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Seat 4 - Luis Campelo: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Seat 5 - Brandon Greenhaw: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

Despite the sadism of the rail and the players involved expected an outdraw, the aces did indeed hold, the board coming {Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades} to treble Harrah through.

Harrah - 160,000
Campelo - busto
Greenhaw - 175,000
