Greenstein Eliminated

Barry Greenstein - Eliminated
Barry Greenstein - Eliminated

PLO

An already short-stacked Barry Greenstein raised to 3,500 from early position and was called by Tyler Patterson from the big blind. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Patterson put out a stack of chips that had Greenstein's remaining chips covered. Greenstein called and their hands were revealed.

Greenstein: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Patterson: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Patterson's pair of deuces was best and the {2-Hearts} that came on the turn made his hand even stronger. The {j-Spades} on the river was of no help to Greenstein and he was eliminated.

Greenstein pulled out a copy of his book "Ace on the River" and signed it for Patterson before exiting the table. Patterson said, "I already have the book, but I don't have a signed one!"

In addition to a signed copy of Greenstein's book, Patterson now has around 55,000 in his stack.

Leandri can Breathe Again Thanks to Gill

PLO

On a flop of {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Stewart Yancik checked from the small blind and Jeanphilippe Leandri bet 6,000 from the under-the-gun position. Carter Gill, who was playing from middle position, responded with a raise to 26,000. Yancik got out of the way while Leandri called off for a total of 11,900.

Gill: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Leandri: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}

The {8-Diamonds} turn delivered Leandri a flush, which was good after the {8-Clubs} was put out on the river. Leandri essentially tripled on the hand.

Elezra Busts

Eli Elezra - Eliminated
Eli Elezra - Eliminated

Eli Elezra ended up all in for his last 12,200 and was called by Mark Dickstein.

Elezra: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Dickstein: {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}

The flop brought bad news for Elezra as it came {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} giving Dickstein two pair. The turn and river of the {6-Hearts} and {8-Spades} couldn't help Elezra and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Apparently Elezra's chips weren't much help to Dickstein though as a few minutes later his seat was noticeably empty and his chips were gone as well.

Gallagher Gets Smashed

PLO

With around 10,000 in the pot and a flop of {7-Spades}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades}, Eugene Du Plessis checked from late position only to have Mark Gallagher bet 6,000 from the cutoff. Du Plessis gave it some thought before check-raising to 12,000. Gallagher refused to back down and three-bet all in for 32,000. Du Plessis quickly called and the cards were turned on their back.

Du Plessis: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Gallagher: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Du Plessis had flopped the nuts while Gallagher picked the wrong time to bluff. The {A-Hearts} turn and {4-Clubs} river didn't change a thing, as Gallagher was sent to the rail.
