Greenstein Cracks Competition, Somerville Sinking by AdamJ on 06.12.08, 6:35 pm

Barry Greenstein’s aggression was rewarded when he won a coin-flip in level three of the 2k NL WSOP Event #23.

With blinds at 100-200, Greenstein led out for 700 on a Q76 flop. His opponent raised 1600 more and Greenstein moved all-in, covering his opponent who called.

Greenstein tabled the AT, racing his opponents KQ. Greenstein made his flush, busting his opponent.

Greenstein is currently at 14k.

Jason “JCarver” Somerville (pictured right) is in all-in mode as his stack has been reduced to two yellow 1k chips and one blue 500 chip, a stack he was happy to show off in his hand as i walked by his table.

“Its never a good sign when i can do that,” said Somerville with a smile.

Somerville’s day started off much better when he built the initial 4k starting stack to around 9k before losing a 16k pot with top two pair on the flop against aces, which flopped a gut-shot straight draw.

Blair “blur5f6″ Hinkle has accumulated one of the bigger stacks with 23k in chips. Hinkle picked up a nice pot before the end of level 3 when minraised his opponents preflop bet of 700 to 1400. After much deliberation, Hinkle’s opponent called, leaving only 1200 behind.

Both players checked the A6K flop and Hinkle put his opponent all-in for 1200 after he checked the 7 turn. Hinkle raked the pot after his opponent folded.

Here are some notable chip stacks at the conclusion of level 3 as 750 of 1,344 remain.
Theo Tran - 16k
Jared “TheWacoKidd” Hamby - 15k
Danny “THE_D_RY” Ryan - 11k
Sorel “Imper1um” Mizzi - 8k
Phil Hellmuth -8k
Court Harrington - 3k
