Barry Greenstein last night just missed out on picking up his fourth WSOP bracelet. The yank Team PokerStars Pro busted out of Event #31: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-low 8-or-Better in 3rd place for $99,091, coincidentally scoring his third cash of the summer.
Greenstein got all of it in with A♠A♣6♣4♥ on a K♣Q♥3♦ flop against Jarred Graham's A♥Q♠7♦3♠, which had flopped two-pair. Greenstein didn't catch up leaving Graham in pole position to win the bracelet and $255,942. Marco Johnson finished runner-up for $158,379.
In the primary ever WSOP turbo (Event #34: $1,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold'em), which featured 30-minute and 40-minute levels, 1,629 players were whittled all the way down to just 35 in a single day of play. All of these players at the moment are guaranteed a payout of $6,729 with $278,613 allocated for the win. Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody currently sits in 9th with 190,000, that's good for 47.5 big blinds. He has a real shot at picking up his second WSOP bracelet.
Cody, the youngest ever Triple Crown winner, has scored two small cashes on the WSOP but is available in strong from a 5th place finish on the EPT Grand Final (€251,000) and a win within the UKIPT Series 1 event (£19,400). UKIPT player Marc MacDonnell (172,000) and EPT regular Jason Duval (193,000) sit each side of him at the overnight chip counts. Good luck to all three.
