Greenstein Hits a Five to Stay Alive
Bill Chen raised and was called by Justin Bonomo in the small blind and Barry Greenstein who was in the big blind.
The flop came A2Q and both Bonomo and Greenstein checked to Chen, who made a bet. Chen was met with a check-raise from Bonomo and Greestein committed the last of his chips with a call. Chen got out of the way and Greenstein and Bonomo went to showdown.
Bonomo showed the A9 and was way ahead of Greenstein’s A5. The turn was the 8, but the 5 on the river vaulted Greenstein to the lead and gave him the pot.
Greenstein doubled up to 48,000 and Bonomo dropped to 32,000.

Justin Bonomo vs. Mark Radoja
Justin Bonomo vs. Mark Radoja
With the elimination of David Bach in 3rd place, Justin Bonomo took a 2:1 chip lead into heads-up play with 1,605,000 to Leonard Martin’s 750,000. Martin was slowly able to chip up to even and then steal the chip lead for himself towards the end of Level 27, and after slipping back down a bit in Level 28, he pulled way out in front after winning a big pot with an 8 – 7 low against Bonomo’s 10 – 9 low. That hand put Martin at almost 2 million, leaving Bonomo with just about 400,000.
David Bach opened for a raise from the small blind, Leonard Martin reraised the big blind and Bach called.
Eli Elezra Eliminated in 5th Place ($36,596)
Note: Three blind levels will be played each hour, as each is just 20 minutes long. The only difference in round 2 is that the blinds begin at 300-600.
