Greenstein Out

From the small blind Barry Greenstein pushed all in for a little bit more than 20,000 and was called by Alexandro Tricarico.

Barry Greenstein: {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Alexandro Tricarico: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Greenstein was racing for his tournament life, but the {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts} board made him a pair and his opponent a straight, and he is out.

On a {2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} run out and with already around 18,000 in the middle, Adrian Mateos, in the big blind, bet 13,500. After some thought his opponent ended up calling but spun his hand to the muck when Mateos showed {j-Spades}{10-Clubs} for the top pair.

Pierre Calamusa opened on the button to 2,600 and Joseph Granberry in the small blind called. Patrick Mahoney in big blind three-bet to 12,000 and Calamusa called. Granberry then shoved all in for 19,000, and Mahoney and Calamusa both called.

With two players still active, the flop was {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and they both checked. On the {4-Clubs} turn, Mahoney check-folded to a 10,000 bet from Calamusa.

Joseph Granberry: {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Pierre Calamusa: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {4-Diamonds} on the river didn't change anything and Calamusa eliminated Granberry to rise to 220,000.

Summertime brings a special event for gamblers – the World Series of Poker. In honor of that event, this month’s episode of True Gambling Stories features one the world’s best-known poker tales. It’s the story of how one of the most famous American Lawmen of the Old West met his ultimate demise at the card table. Dead Man's Hand has become synonymous with Wild Bill Hickok, and here's all the card-playing, gun-fighting history.

Guests this week include: Jim McManus, author of Positively Fifth Street who also has a new story that is part of the new anthology "He Played for his Wife and Other Stories"; Aaron Woodard, author of the new book "The Revenger: The Life and Times of Wild Bill Hickok"; and Louie Lalonde, owner Saloon No. 10 in Deadwood, S.D.

After four players limped, Pierre Calamusa checked his option in the big blind. The flop came {k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and after a check, a player bet to 2,400. Only Calamusa and the under the gun player called. The turn brought the {5-Clubs} and all checked.

A {3-Clubs} appeared on the river and Calamusa fired 12,500, which was enough to collect the pot without any resistance.
