Boosted J, Little Bust Eslami

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Little: {x-}{8-Clubs} / {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} / {x-}
Lewis: (x)(x) / {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds} FOLDED
Smith: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} / {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{a-Hearts} / {9-Clubs}
Eslami: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} / {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Ali Eslami was all in on third street, and found three callers in Barbara Lewis, Jonathan Little, and Justin Smith. Smith bet out on fourth street, and Lewis and Little called. On fifth, Smith and Little got in a raising war that found Little all in, while Lewis got out of the way. Little had a made low, while Smith had trip queens. Eslami had two pair, and would need to improve. He couldn't, and Little and Smith split the knockout, while Eslami headed for the rail.

Greenstein Eliminated

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Greenstein: {4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} / {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} / {9-Hearts}
Sigel: {A-}{x-} / {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} / {7-Hearts}

Barry Greenstein was all by sixth with a 8-6-4-3-A low and a flush draw but missed the high hand, Michael Sigel already had a pair of fours and needed a seven or better to scoop the pot, he picked out the seven and his 7-6-5-4-A was good for the low as well.
