The Wisdom of Solomon

It's well-known that Barry Greenstein autographs a copy of his book "Ace On The River" for the player who knocks him out of a tournament (provided someone actually DOES knock Barry out). Barry writes down the particulars of the elimination hand and gives the book who did the deed. Well, what does he do when TWO players bust him. Say, in an Omaha Hi-Lo event?

Well, that just happened. Greenstein made 2 pair but another player had trip Queens for the high. Patrik Antonius won the low and Greenstein was eliminated. But what to do with the book? Perry Friedman thought he had the answer--"You'll have to split the book in half!"

But since Barry and Patrik often play together in the "Big Game" at the Bellagio, Greenstein said he'd bring a book for him later. Instead Barry autographed the book for the player who won with the trip Queens--and he took nearly seven minutes to write out how exactly how that final hand played out . Which should give you some idea how tough figuring out these Hi-Lo hands can be.
