Greenstein Strikes First in Heads Up Battle

In the first major pot in heads up play, Barry Greenstein emerged the victor. By the river the players showed:

Klodnicki: (X) (X) {8-?} {3-?} {Q-?} {K-?} (X)
Greenstein: (X) (X) {6-?} {A-?} {K-?} {K-?} (X)

Klodnicki had bet the hand the whole way, but checked the river. After the check, Greenstein quickly led out for 60,000. Klodnicki smiled and said "fold" as he flashed two pair. Greenstein showed ({10-?}) ({7-?}) ({2-?}) {6-?} {A-?} {K-?} {K-?}. Klodnicki is left with just 162,000 after the hand.

Tradin' Chips

Since the elimination of Chris Viox, Greenstein and Klodnicki have been playing mostly small pots with Greenstein winning a majority of them.

Chris Viox Eliminated in 3rd Place ($58,743)

Chris Viox had all of his chips in the middle on fifth street against Chris Klodnicki. The players showed:

Viox: ({7-?}) ({4-?}) {6-?} {K-?} {2-?}
Klodnicki: ({9-?}) ({4-?}) {2-?} {Q-?} {3-?}

With Viox's gallery on the rail giving play by play, the dealer tossed sixth street.

Viox: ({7-?}) ({4-?}) {6-?} {K-?} {2-?} {A-?}
Klodnicki: ({9-?}) ({4-?}) {2-?} {Q-?} {3-?} {5-?}

As Viox caught his ace, one of his supporters said "you've got him almost dead." They'd yet to see Klodnicki's {5-?} however and that got them worried. The dealer tossed their river cards face down. Viox checked his and said "I didn't improve." That meant that Klodnicki needed an {A-?} or a {6-?} for the win.

With little hesitation he nonchalantly rolled over the {A-Diamonds} for the wheel. The dealer said "he's got the bicycle" and Viox's gallery was speechless. Klodnicki walked over and shook Viox's hand, offering up a sincere apology for the supposed "suckout." Viox went along with it, but seemed to look right through him as he wondered what might have been. Chris Viox was eliminated in 3rd place and takes home $58,743 to show for it.

It's Still Anyone's Game

Chris Viox and Barry Greenstein just played an interesting hand. By fifth street, both players were showing a possible {7-?} low but both opted to check. Greenstein paired on sixth street and then folded to Voix's bet.

With the levels where they're at, it is still anyone's game. A good or bad run of cards for one of these players could end it at an instant.
