The Green Green Grass of Going Home

Being the unbiased reporter that I am (cough), I am chagrined to report that my fellow countryman and, I believe, last remaining Brit, Martin Green has finally been eliminated.

Green has endured a number of so near-yet-so-far runs in tournaments, including a 15th in the Dublin EPT and an 11th in a WSOP event last year, and it would appear as though he's hit the crossbar yet again today.

With Vadim Trincher sneakily limping in middle position with {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

, Green understandably raised the pot from the big blind with {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

, only to be reraised by Trincher.

Green called all in, but received no further help as the dealer popped out a {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

board to send the Liverpudlian home.

Next time, Gadget, next time!
