Sam Greenwood Eliminated in 5th Place for £36,800
Paul Newey held [Jd9d] and called Sam Greenwood, who had raised pre-flop with [AhKh].
The two men saw a stunning flop of [Ad6d7d] arrive, both men checking for trapping reasons. The turn of [4s] saw Newey check again, but Greenwood fired out 90,000 this time, Newey made a pretty quick raise to 225,000.
Greenwood checked his cards again, used two timebank cards for an extra two minutes of cogitation, and eventually made the call.
The river [3c] saw Newey move all-in, and a grimace from Greenwood came with a reluctant call. Newey loves diamonds, and the man who is 50 tomorrow has the chance of a very nice birthday present with a British Poker Open title if he can keep this lead. Greenwood smiled at the bad news that he’d been flushed out from the flop and removed his microphone before making his way from the table.
