Tucker and Greenstein Falls to Biedak's Pair of Sixes

Ryan Lashmar

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Barry Greenstein limped in from under the gun and Charles Tucker three-bet to 90,000 from the cutoff. Joshua Biedak clicked it to 160,000 from the button, Greenstein called and Tucker called for less, putting himself all-in.

The flop came 6♠10♣5♠. Greenstein checked, Biedak shoved and Greenstein, who had around 200,000, called and was also at risk.

Charles Tucker: A♦K♠Q♥9♦2♠ All in
Barry Greenstein: A♣K♥Q♣4♦2♣ All in
Joshua Biedak: A♥K♦6♦3♥2♦

The rest of the board ran out 10♥5♦. No low was possible and Biedak was good at showdown with two pair, sixes and tens to send both opponents to the rail.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After the most recent table broke, Barry Greenstein was moved directly to the left of Sam "Sammy" Farha.

These two have a history of battling at the highest stakes cash games well over a decade ago but it's clear that their relationship is as adversaries on the felt.

The two haven't played much Big O against each other and have yet to play a pot together, much less spark up any conversation.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Octaviano Duran raised to 65,000 from under the gun, and Igor Zektser three-bet to 240,000 in middle position, which Michael Christ in late position called. Duran responded by moving all in for 273,000 total and both of his opponents called.

The flop rolled out Q♣5♦3♠ and Zektser moved all in for 297,000, which Christ called.

Octaviano Duran: A♠8♦7♦4♠2♣ All in
Igor Zektser: A♦A♥10♠7♣5♥ All in
Michael Christ: A♣Q♦4♣4♥2♥

Both Duran and Christ shared the same open-ended straight draw, but neither of them improved on the 9♦3♥ runout, which left Zektser with aces up. Duran was eliminated while Christ's stack was cut down by more than half.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jason Adams raised to 45,000 in early position. Philip Tanner, Adithya Sundar, Paul Clotar, Kevin Ho, and David Schwind all made the call.

Six ways to a flop of 2♦4♣3♠, and Schwind pushed his chips forward, indicating a pot-sized bet of 301,000. When it folded to Sundar, he raised and pushed his remaining chips in the middle. Only Schwind called.

David Schwind: 6♠6♣5♦5♠3♣ All in
Adithya Sundar: A♥6♦5♣5♥4♦

They had all the fives in play between the two of them, as they both flopped the nut straight, but Sundar's nut low secured him the lion's share of the pot when it rolled off the J♣ and 4♥.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation Phillip Tanner was all in for around 70,000, Paul Fehlig for around 275,000 and they were up against Paul Clotar who had both players covered.

Phillip Tanner: A♠Q♦10♣4♥2♠ All in
Paul Fehlig: A♥A♣K♦Q♠7♣ All in
Paul Clotar: A♦9♥7♦7♠6♥

The board ran out 5♠4♠Q♥7♥9♠. Tanner had the nut-flush to take the main pot while Clotar had a set of sevens to send Fehlig to the rail and take the side pot.

Barry Greenstein limped in from under the gun, Joshua Ray limped behind from the the button, Gary Friedman limped in the small blind and Jannick Schob checked from the big blind.

The flop came Q♦4♥10♣ and action checked around to Ray who bet 50,000. Only Friedman called.

Friedman led out with a pot-sized bet on the 6♥ turn and Ray called. On the 3♥ river Friedman checked, Ray shoved for a little over 100,000 and Friedman called.

Friedman had Q♠J♠10♥8♦8♥ for top two pair but Ray turned over A♣A♥J♥7♥9♦ for the nut-flush to double up.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Cody Crouch in the small blind and Kean Chin on the button.

Chin had check-called a bet of 50,000 on the flop of Q♥7♦J♦ to the turn of J♥ where Crouch sized up to 80,000 which Chin called.

On the river 6♠, Crouch bet 250,000 and Chin called quickly.

Crouch tabled Q♣Q♠10♦5♦2♥ for queens full of jacks which was good for the pot as Chin shook his head and showed A♦J♠2♦ before tossing his hand into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Cody Crouch	1,800,000 488,000	488,000
Kean Chin	460,000 145,000	145,000
