Greenstein Makes an Unfortunate Boat

Nível 5

Razz

Barry Greenstein was heads up with a pair of fives and an ace on board, while his opponent had a queen and two babies. Greenstein's opponent check-called his bets on fifth, sixth and seventh streets.

"Full house," Greenstein sarcastically announced, turning over /. His opponent took the pot.

On another table, Daniel Negreanu pushed all in with two pair and an open ended straight draw in PLO and doubled through his opponent. Negreanu is back near the starting stack after he was down to just a few bets a short while ago.

Wright Pays $200 to Get Here in Nine Minutes

Partilhar no Twitter Partilhar no Facebook

Nível 5

We learned of a very interesting story over the dinner break from bracelet winner Larry Wright, who you may recall as the winner of last year's WSOP Event #30: $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball for $101,975.

According to him, he was home in Corpus Christi earlier today but was delayed traveling because of hurricane and tornado troubles. Wright eventually made it to Vegas, but he was in danger of missing this event. In order to make it here before registration closed, Wright offered the taxi driver $200 if he could get him from the Las Vegas airport to the Rio Convention Center (which is where the WSOP is being held) in less than 15 minutes.

We're guessing the cabbie liked the sound of that because he had Wright at the front doors in nine minutes! Wright was all smiles that he made it in time to compete for his second gold bracelet.

PLO

We found Greg Raymer and Matt Glantz locking horns in a pot on a flop of . Raymer, who was under the gun, checked, another player in the cutoff checked, and Glantz bet 1,100. Raymer called the cutoff folded. The turn was a , completing a possible straight draw. Raymer checked again, and Glantz bet 3,000, most of his stack. Raymer raised all in, and Glantz called.

"I've got the seven-eight," Raymer said, and indeed Glantz needed help.

The board didn't pair on the river, and Glantz was finished while Raymer is among the chipleaders.

"And That's Why I Bubble Every Hold'em Tournament."

No-Limit Hold'em

We found Phil Hellmuth in middle position facing an all-in bet from the button on a board. The player had shipped his last 3,950 into a pot of about 4,000.

"And that's why I bubble every hold'em tournament," Hellmuth said as the player slid his stack into the middle. "Wouldn't it be awful if you were just bluffing with ace-king and got there?"

Hellmuth tossed into the muck face up, and his opponent silently took the pot.

Who'll be this Year's WSOP POY?

Nível 4

It's still early in the series, but the WSOP Player of the Year race is always in the back of players' minds. Thanks to his WSOP APAC Main Event win, Daniel Negreanu begins the 2013 WSOP with an early lead. Amazingly, if he could maintain he would be the only player to win the award twice (he did it in 2004).
