Greenwood Doubles Up Through Elias
Sam Greenwood made it 5,000 to see a flop with [AhKh] and Darren Elias raised to 16,000 with [JhJs].
Greenwood saw everyone else fold and made it 38,000 with a four-bet and the heat – and the cameras – were back on the four-time WPT Main Event winner Elias. After sliding in a time extension card, Elias then moved all-in, getting the call from Greenwood, who was at risk.
The flop of [7dKc2s] gave Greenwood the lead, and the [4c] turn and [8s] saw his pair of kings ride the board to a double-up at Elias’s expense, leapfrogging his opponent in the hand.

Feature Table Chip Counts
With six players at the feature table, the man in control is Bosnian player Ali Imsirovic, though he is followed in the counts by Darren Elias.
After Stephen Chidwick’s recent hand against Sam Greenwood, each player has lost a few chips, but it’s Greenwood who is most affected by that, and although this is only Day 1, he really could do with some substantive pots to battle his way back into contention.
