The short-stacked Padraig Parkinson was all in preflop with his tournament life on the line against Stefan Mattsson. However they both tabled the similar hands...
Mattsson:
Parkinson:
While the board teased with a couple of scoop possibilities it ended and both players chopped it up!
Richard Austin limps the button and Barry Greenstein made up the small blind, Nate Lindsay checked in the big blind.
The flop was and Greenstein led out for 32,000. Lindsay folded and Austin made the call.
On the turn, Greenstein checked and Austin bet 110,000. Greenstein check-raised all in and Austin sighed and called with for top two but needing one of two queens as Greenstein flipped for middle set.
The river was the and Greenstein doubled to 670,000 leaving the $5,000 PLO bracelet winner with just 200,000.
After folding the hand previous, a very short-stacked Nenad Medic has just been eliminated after failing to improve in a hand against Padraig Parkinson. Unfortunately the board and cards were raked in before we could catch them, as Medic made a quiet exit from the Amazon Room in 18th place for $34,552.
Barry Greenstein raised to 50,000. Van Marcus and Robin Keston made the call. The flop was and it was checked to Marcus who bet 50,000. Keston folded and Greenstein moved all in for 18,000 more, Marcus quickly called.
Greenstein:
Marcus:
This put the Bear back up to 320,000 and Marcus was knocked down to 215,000.
However the Aussie doubled back up soon after after his held against Nenad Medic's on a board.
With the board reading Ferit Gabriellson led out for 30,000 and Matt Vengrin made the call. Josh Arieh then raised to 135,000 but neither of the other two could make the call despite both thinking Arieh was bluffing.
