Alexander Greenblatt Eliminated in 65th Place ($101,444)

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Alexander Greenblatt

Alexander Greenblatt moved all in for 1,890,000 from middle position and action folded to David Guay on the button. He thought for a moment and then called. Marcel Luske was in the big blind and asked for a count but eventually folded.

Greenblatt tabled {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and was disappointed to see that Guay held {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

"One time," smiled Greenblatt, on his feet.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Greenblatt still needed one of the remaining eights in the deck to improve. The turn was the {k-Spades} and the river was the {j-Hearts}, sending Greenblatt to the rail in 65th place for $101,444.

After Greenblatt left the table, Jake Bazeley looked at Luske and asked, "Did you take that long with king-deuce, Marcel?" Luske shook his head and Bazeley continued, "Oh, so you just take that long all the time. I think you should try to play as quick as possible in this tournament."
