Level 6 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Brian Decosmo: / /
Barry Greenstein: /
Nate Silver: / /
Opponent: / /

PokerNews caught up with the action on sixth street when the floor was called over to make a ruling on the hand.

There had been a bet, call and raise before Nate Silver attempted to call. However, Silver had put out enough chips for a raise and the floor ruled that the raise would stand.

Brian Decosmo then re-raised all-in and Barry Greenstein, Silver and a third player in the hand all called.

Greenstein bet on seventh street and both opponents called. Greenstein tabled fours full of deuces for half of the side pot as the fourth player in the hand had a low.

Decosmo then tabled queens full of nines for a better full house to put a bad beat on Greenstein and be awarded half of the main pot.

"That hand kind of played itself," Decosmo consoled Greenstein.
