Greenblatt Busts, Gets "All-Star Needle"

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A blind vs. blind confrontation saw the back of Alexander Greenblatt just now as he called his last 80,000 off with {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Unfortunately for him, Dan O'Brien had {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Any hope for a chop faded after the flop, and Greenblatt made his way out of the Pavilion Room.

The dealer with the seat cards suddenly called him back to get his payout - but we're still a few tables off the money and the returning Greenblatt soon found that out. He didn't look in any way put out by this, though, and O'Brien laughingly said, "All-star needle right there." We're close to the Day 2C money, though, and for the length of days the staff are working here they are - rightly - given a bit of slack for this kind of slip-up.
