Barry Greenstein has had a great summer so far and is looking to see that continue here in Event 58. Well, it's so far, so good for Greenstein as his stack is well above average.

Daniel Negreanu hasn't had much luck of late, busting out of multiple tournaments in one day. David Williams hasn't done much better, also being recently eliminated from tonight's tournament.
RealKidPoker Daniel NegreanuManaged to bust three tourneys in a day the trifecta! Looking to hang tonight and cannot wait for the $10k 2-7 Singlr draw!July 03 2012
With more than two levels left to register, the 481 players who have currently entered this event is a great amount, as it eclipses last year's field of 352. Plenty more players are expected to head over to this event after busting the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event, just like these guys did.
Doc_Sands David Doc SandsVery disappointed to bust such a great event but 3k PLO8 is a nice consolation prize.July 03 2012
Downtownchad Chad BrownPlaying 3k PLO 8. Busted in 6max with aces vs flush draw all in on flop for 60k. Lose on river.July 03 2012
