In a 3 way all in preflop pot, Barry “barryg1″ Greenstein went in with the best of it and was the only one of the three to come out of the hand with any chips left at all. After Barry opened for 17k, Jon “PearlJammer” Turner (right) raised to 45k and Minh Ly called all in for less than Turner’s bet. Barry then moved in over the top, having Turner covered. Jon thought for a while before finally calling.
When the hands were turned up Barry showed pocket aces, Minh Ly showed pocket kings, and Turner was left drawing very thin with his AK. Barry’s aces held up on a jack high board and Greenstein was able to rake in a nice pot while busting two players. Turner’s 73rd place finish put him in the bottom level of payouts for $21,620.
Steve “MrSmokey1″ Billirakis was also eliminated in the post bubble flurry, dropping in 81st place for the same $21,620 payout.
The field has now dropped to 67 players and everyone left is now guaranteed at least the $23,420 payout with the next jump coming to the 50th place finisher.
