Thorpe Completes Comeback Against Greenstein

Barry Greenstein eliminated
Barry Greenstein eliminated

Mike Thorpe just defeated Barry Greeinstein to move on to the next round. We know this because of Thorpe's enthusiastic celebration after he sealed the deal. Ever gracious in defeat, Greenstein quietly exited the Brasilia room just shy of this third cash of the 2012 series.

A few tables over, Preston Derden won his table and secured a payday of $3,088.

JJ Liu's opponent raised on the button and Liu called.

The flop fell {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Liu checked to her opponent who tossed out a bet. Liu called and fourth street brought the {10-Diamonds}. Liu check-raised and her opponent went into the tank before calling. Liu's opponent put the rest of his chips all in blind and Liu called. The river brought the {2-Clubs} and Liu tabled {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. Her opponent showed the {K-Diamonds} and mucked his other card.

Just like that six more tables have finished immediately upon returning from the break. Most notably moving on are Scott Seiver and Greg Mueller, both of whom made deep runs in Event 9: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry. Seiver finished 17th in that event while Mueller took 7th place. Both of these players and the rest moving on to tomorrow are guaranteed at least $3,088.
