Event 18 - Three Handed Marathon Is Over!
1 year ago
Yes the prolonged three handed battle between Mike Matusow, Barry Greenstein and Jeffrey Lisandro is OVER!
Barry Busto!
Bye!
Barry Greenstein found himself short and shoved from the small blind, Lisandro calling quickly from the big blind.
Both drew one, Barry showing 9-7-6-2 currently in the lead versus Jeff's T-8-4-5.
As Barry looked at the card he drew he grimaced, not impressed, as he presumably paired up.
Jeff flipped an Ace to take down the pot, meaning Barry Greenstein is OUT, eliminated in 3rd spot for $225,553.
He handed Jeff a signed copy of his book, as is his customary practice when knocked out of a competition.
Mike Matusow starts the heads up with a deficit but is in a positive frame of mind.
"One double up is all I need!" was his assessment.
Expect fireworks!

Event 18 - Digging Their Heels In!
1 year ago
Any thought that reducing the players to three handed would bring a swift resolution to the final table has been blown away. Every time a player finds himself disadvantaged with a short stack, he doubles through or picks up a decent pot to bring himself into contention again.
No one is conceding ground at the moment.
Here's what's been occurring at the table.
Twice The Ice
Lisandro calls a button raise from Barry Greenstein, and Matusow also calls from the big blind.
Two for Greenstein, One for Lisandro, One for Mike.
Getting On Top
Greenstein now fires out $200,000, only to find The Iceman shoving his stack in for $560,000. Matusow folded what he later claimed was a T-8 whilst Greenstein was uninterested in calling, passing up quickly once the dealer turned to him.
A nice pot for Lisandro, bringing him back up to close to the million mark and continuing the trend of the shorter stacks winning out in the crucial pots.
Ice Melting
Making His Mike
Having won that nice pot, Jeffrey gave much of his winnings back, calling Matusow's shove over his button raise.
Both drew one, but Mike flipped over 8-4-3-2-7 for an almost unbeatable hand, and Lisandro couldn't do any better, meaning Mike doubles up.
