No Thanksgiving for this Pilgrim

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

After making quads earlier in the day to win a big pot, Dwyte Pilgrim appeared to be on the verge of a successful Day 1 run, but unfortunately one of the most well-liked grinders on the tournament circuit was eliminated sometime after the last dinner break.

Death Rattle

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

We missed the action, but noticed David Williams' seat was empty while Laz Hernandez was busily stacking a pile of chips.

Apparently, the short-stacked Williams got his last few bets in with {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, but Hernandez managed to make a straight with his {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to bust the dangerous pro.

Not an Ace, but "On the River" Works Just Fine for Barry G

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

After a raise to 500 before the flop, Barry Greenstein called, as did another player for a three-way flop of {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The initial raiser led out for a bet, and Greenstein fired out a raise to fold the third player. The bettor flatted, however, and the turn came {7-Diamonds}.

After a check to him, Greenstein fired away with another bet on fourth street, and once again his opponent came along.

On the {k-Clubs} river the action repeated, and Greenstein rolled over the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the winner. His frustrated opponent winced when he saw the bad news, and flashed an {A-} while angrily mucking his hand. Despite this win, Greenstein is still short-stacked, and he will need to keep making moves if he hopes to advance to the second day of play.

Lubarsky Loses Some

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

On a board of {6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, Hal Lubarsky bet out, and then called when his opponent put out a raise.

When the {2-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Lubarsky check-called a bet, but he mucked when his assistant informed him that his opponent tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Late Registration Has Concluded

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

With the late registration period coming to a close with the beginning of this level, there are sure to be a few new faces hidden among the field, and as soon as we complete a lap around the Brasilia Room, we'll let you know who has thrown their hat into the ring.
