Level 1: Barry Greenstein Hits The RailNov 12, '10 Blinds: 50-100 Players Remaining: 315 (Approximate) Eliminations: Barry Greenstein Big Hands:
We didn’t catch the action of the hand that crippled him, but we did see Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein all in for his last 175 with 7 The board ran out A Scott Clements Gets Straightened Out By Eric Froehlich On a board reading 8 Clements checked and Froehlich relunctantly checked behind. Clements showed pocket tens for the overpair, but Froehlich revealed 9 George Lind Gets Paid Off On a board reading 9 Lind showed pocket queens and they were more than good enough to take the pot and shoot his stack to 40,500. Left In The Deck: Not So Random Table Draw If you wander over to the near side of the room, you’ll see some pretty stacked tables. One includes Scott Clements, Mandy Baker, Brent Roberts and Eric Froehlich. All three players just so happened to register together. It’s not just the good players that are the problem, it’s also the lack of satellite winners. Some of the players have been pretty vocal about the draws, but the tournament staff has explained that while an initial number of tables were random, any added tables are not. Simply put, more players showed up today than they originally anticipated. Tough luck for the players who bought in late, but a good problem to have for PokerStars and the NAPT.

On the last hand before the break, Maria Ho was all in holding A-Q on a A-J-4 flop, but unfortunately for her, Alex Melnikow had A-4. The turn and river fell K 9 and Ho was eliminated. Or was she? It turns out, she was called back to the room when it was discovered that she still had 300 in chips remaining. Back from break, Ho was all in for the ante and won when her 7-5 outflopped Gavin Smith’s A-10. That got her to 2,700 in chips, which were all in on the next hand when her pocket aces held up against two players ace-rags. After folding a few hands, Ho was all in from under the gun holding K An orbit later, Ho shoved for her last 17,100 from under the gun and was called by Chad Batista in the small blind. Ho’s A She still has a lot of work to do, but she’s come a long way from having just one ante. Jimmy Fricke Exits We didn’t see the action, but according to Jimmy Fricke’s twitter page, he wasn’t able to outdraw Vladimir Shchemelev in an all in situation. Apparently Fricke’s pocket queens ran into pocket aces. David Sklansky Doubles Up Barry Greenstein raised to 6,100 from the hijack and Noah Schwartz called on the button. David Sklansky then moved all in for 35,100 in the big blind and Schwartz was the only caller. Schwartz showed A Poker Tweets: Left In The Deck: Gavin Smith Having Some Fun With Jeff Madsen Gavin Smith is having a lot of fun after doubling up twice in this level at the expense of Jeff Madsen. After Madsen was forced to give up a small pot to another opponent, Smith reached over and knocked down his entire fortress of chips. To add insult to injury, Smith then called the floor over to complain that Madsen wasn’t stacking his chips. The floor reminded Madsen that he needs to keep his chips orderly and the table laughed some more.
