On a flop of all nines , and a pot of around 1,600, Jordan Tentori bet 600, and an under-the-gun player check-raised to 1500. Tentori pushed a stack of yellow, 1,000 chips in the middle, enough to make his opponent call for his tournament life. The UTG player quickly made the call putting himself at risk.
Tentori:
Opponent:
Both players had flopped a full house, unfortunately for the UTG player, Tentori's kings were way ahead. Tentori would hold through the on the turn and the on the river, and eliminate his opponent.
They are already starting to break down tables in the Pavilion Room as players exit this tournament, but of those remaining, here are a few notable chip stacks:
Barry Greenstein tossed in some chips in the small blind to call a raise preflop and four players went to a flop. The dealer dealt out and Greenstein led out for 400. The player on his left in the big blind pushed all in and everyone folded except for Greenstein, who made the call.
Greenstein:
Opponent:
The turn of paired the board but made little difference to the hand. But the on the river gave Greenstein the flush and his opponent surrendered all of his chips to Greenstein's stack.
Johnny "World" Hennigan is no longer in his seat, having been replaced by a new player after losing the last of his chips. Hennigan had some great success in this series already. He finished runner-up in an event just like this one last week for $319,993, but his run here today is done.
