Barry Greenstein Eliminated ($25,000)

Barry Greenstein - eliminated
Barry Greenstein - eliminated
Well it seems that 2007 WSOP Main Event champion was able to successfully wear down Barry Greenstein. Greenstein moved in as a short stack several times without being called by Yang. Finally, with 17,400, he moved in again and this time Yang called.

Yang had the lead in the match and also tabled the best hand. His {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} was in the lead against Greenstein's {10-Clubs} {9-Spades}. The flop came with two matching queens for Yang, {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {K-Spades}. He seemed to shake his head slightly "no", as if he couldn't believe his good fortune.

But Greenstein still had outs to a straight. He missed them with blanks {5-Hearts} and {9-Clubs} on the river. He'll earn $25,000 for his finish, while Yang will be back tomorrow.
