Greenstein Chipping Up

Barry Greenstein is changing gears. He's won the last two pots. The first one he played against Chris Viox, he bet the entire way, Viox called and couldn't beat Greenstein's {9-?} {7-?} {6-?} {5-?} {3-?}.

The very next hand, Greenstein got mixed up with Chris Klodnicki. Again, Greenstein bet every street and got a quick call. Klodnicki folded seventh street however, giving Barry another big pot.

He is now up to 487,000 chips.

Mark Tenner was just sent home when his {J-?} {7-?} {6-?} {2-?} {A-?} couldn't beat the {7-?} {6-?} {4-?} {3-?} {2-?} of Chris Klodnicki. Tenner was all in on fifth street and still had a chance to win the pot when he checked his river card. It was not to be however, and Tenner exits in 4th place, collecting $43,284 in the process.

Mark Tenner Crippled

Mark Tenner just dropped to 37,000 chips when he went to the river against Chris Viox. The lead hand bet the whole way and the other player called. Viox checked 7th street but called Tenner's bet. The players showed:

Tenner: ({8-?}) ({4-?}) ({2-?}) {5-?} {9-?} {6-?} {6-?}
Viox: ({K-?}) ({3-?}) ({2-?}) {6-?} {J-?} {8-?} {5-?}

Viox's {8-?} {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} {2-?} just got the better of Tenner's {8-?} {6-?} {5-?} {4-?} {2-?} and Viox took down the pot.

Brandon Leeds Eliminated in 5th Place ($33,081)

A short-stacked Brandon Leeds got the last of his chips in the middle on fourth street against Chris Viox. The players showed:

Viox: ({8-?}) ({7-?}) {A-?} {2-?}
Leeds: ({3-?}) ({4-?}) {A-?} {6-?}

By the river, Viox had improved to a {6-?} {5-?} {4-?} {2-?} {A-?}. Leeds peeked at his river card, but couldn't beat it. Leeds ended up with a {8-?} {6-?} {4-?} {3-?} {A-?}.

Brandon Leeds got a nice ovation from the nearby gallery as well as the remaining players. Though clearly disappointed, he might feel better after collecting the $33,081 he has coming his way for his excellent finish in this event.

Viox Is Back!

Mark Tenner completed showing (X) (X) {4-?}. Chris Viox called showing (X) (X) {7-?} and Joseph Michael reraised showing the same (X) (X) {7-?}. Tenner passed and Viox reraised. Michael reraised all in for 35,000 total and the players showed:

Viox: ({A-?}) ({5-?}) {7-?}
Michael: ({6-?}) ({4-?}) {7-?}

When it was all said and done, Viox had a {8-?} {7-?} {6-?} {4-?} {A-?} which beat the {9-?} {7-?} {6-?} {4-?} {3-?} of Michael. He stood up, shook the hand of Viox, and headed for the payout area where he'll collect his $25,661 in prize money for his impressive 6th place finish.

Chris Viox Keeps His Winning Ways

[user40108]
[user40108]
Chris Viox and Mark Tenner just tangled in a bit pot that ended in a showdown. With the exception of sixth and seventh streets the lead hand bet the whole way. On the river, the players showed:

Viox: (X) (X) {8-?} {7-?} {K-?} {4-?} (X)
Tenner: (X) (X) {10-?} {3-?} {7-?} {6-?} (X)

Tenner checked the river and Viox made a bet of 20,000. Tenner made a reluctant call and Viox showed {8-?} {7-?} {K-?} {4-?} ({2-?}) ({3-?}) ({4-?}). Tenner flashed ({6-?}) ({2-?}) ({2-?}) as he mucked. Chris Viox took down the pot.

The Last Few Hands...

Both Barry Greenstein and Chris Klodnicki won a pot with a completion bet. Klondicki also took down another pot on fourth street when his opponent gave up the hand.

Chris Viox won two pots, one with an uncalled bet on 5th street, and one in a showdown with Chris Klodnicki in which Viox's {8-?} {7-?} {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} bested Klodnicki's {9-?} {7-?} {6-?} {3-?} {A-?}. Viox regained the chip lead on the hand.
