Green Makes His Exit

Perry Green
Perry Green

Perry Green has just been eliminated.

In what would be Green's last hand, Danny Wong raised to 44,000 from the button and Green flatted from the small blind. Jacob Balsiger also called from the big blind for a three-way pot.

All three players checked the {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop, however, Green pushed all in for his last 300,000 when the {J-Spades} landed on the turn. Balsiger announced, "Call," to put Green at risk and Wong got out of the way.

Green: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts} for a pair of jacks.
Balsiger: {8-Spades}{7-Hearts} for two-pair.

Green was drawing live, however, the {5-Hearts} river bricked out for him and he was sent to the rail.

The 76-year-old, who has three World Series of Poker hold bracelets and is famously known for losing out to Stu Ungar heads-up in the 1981 Main Event, will take home $52,718 for his efforts.

Balsiger is up to 2.8 million.
