Greenblatt is on a Roll

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Alex Greenblatt raised from early position to 5,000, and his opponent moved all-in from middle position for 21,800. Greenblatt asked for a count, and after he realized how much it was, he made the call. Greenblatt tabled {A-Hearts}{8-Spades} and was mildly ahead of his opponent's {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The board ran out {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and ace-high was good enough for Greenblatt to eliminate his opponent.
