In the Books

UTG+1 opened for 1,600 triggering Barry Greenstein to push all in for what looked to be around the 11,000 mark just one seat down.
Quicker than Speedy Gonzales, Priyan de Mel grabbed a stack of purple chips and slid them across the felt from the button, thus signifying that he too was all in.
The initial aggressor folded, albeit with a grimace, and the cards were revealed, the two holdings combining to form the dead man's hand:
De Mel: 
Greenstein: 
The 
board may have improved Greenstein's hand to three pair, but it wasn't enough as de Mel scoop earned the pot, and the scalp.
As usual, Greenstein dipped beneath his chair to retrieve his book, before graffiting the opening page and offering it to his assailant.
As Greenstein exited stage left, I snuck a look inside the book, and despite my hopes that the High Stakes Poker star had either written a derogatory word or doodled a picture of the human genitalia, it simply detailed the players involved and the cards on the felt.
For now, bracelet #4 will have to wait until another day.
