Greenstein Eliminated

[user198205]

PLO

An already short-stacked Barry Greenstein raised to 3,500 from early position and was called by Tyler Patterson from the big blind. The flop came {j-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and Patterson put out a stack of chips that had Greenstein's remaining chips covered. Greenstein called and their hands were revealed.

Greenstein: {k-Spades} {q-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Clubs}
Patterson: {a-Spades} {k-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {2-Spades}

Patterson's pair of deuces was best and the {2-Hearts} that came on the turn made his hand even stronger. The {j-Spades} on the river was of no help to Greenstein and he was eliminated.

Greenstein pulled out a copy of his book "Ace on the River" and signed it for Patterson before exiting the table. Patterson said, "I already have the book, but I don't have a signed one!"

In addition to a signed copy of Greenstein's book, Patterson now has around 55,000 in his stack.
