Barry Greenstein raised in late position and the big blind called.
The flop came and the big blind checked. Greenstein bet, his opponent check-raised, Greenstein made it three bets, and his opponent went all in for 950. Greenstein called and they showed down.
Greenstein had for the nut flush draw and overs against his opponent's for top pair.
The turn gave the big blind trip jacks, but it also gave Greenstein the flush. The river couldn't save the all-in player, and he was eliminated.
The first day of Event #24: $1,500 Limit Hold'em is set to begin at 3 p.m. local time in the Miranda Room. Last year it was Danny Le who would win this event, topping a field of 665 players to earn $188,815 and his first WSOP bracelet. Joining him at the final table was Tyler Bonkowski, who is no stranger to limit tournaments as he captured his first WSOP gold in the $3,000 LHE event in 2011.
There are only two LHE events on the 2017 World Series of Poker schedule with the next event being the $10,000 Championship event, so for those limit hold'em specialists on a budget, this is the event for them. We do anticipate seeing some of the better players in the game taking part in this event. Last year, Max Silver, Michael Mizrachi, Mike Watson, Anthony Zinno and Joe McKeehen all took part in this event.
The cards will be in the air at 3 p.m. local time, and the plan is to play ten 60-minute levels before calling it a night. Be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for all of your live, up-to-the-minute updates straight from the tournament floor.
