Cliffhanger Resolved for Michael Greco

The tournament is over for one Michael ‘Don’t Call Me Beppe’ Greco. The ex-soapstar who had been playing a focused short stacked game, had come to the crucial race which marks a turning point in a tournament, and turned downwards, finding his Jacks vs. A-K confrontation going against him and leaving him with under 4,000 – which went in sharpish with his {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Julien Bertazzon gave him a spin with {A-Spades}{J-Spades}.

One of those discussions in which players not involved in the coup try to join the fun by talking about what they’ve folded ensued.

“I passed an Ace,” said one player.
“Me too,” added one of the blinds.
“I folded a Jack,” offers Jamie Gold.
“I passed pocket Tens,” deadpans Jon Shoreman.
“Really?”
“No.”

However many bullets Greco did or didn’t have to dodge, he was hit with the first one fired – the {J-Clubs} popping straight out on the flop. A bit of a headshake and a weary walk later and we’re down one more.

Moments later, Jonathan Shoreman was eliminated by Theo Jorgensen.

On a board of {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, Jonathan Shoreman moved all in and Theo Jorgensen called. Jorgensen showed {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, having turned two pair against Shoreman’s {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. The river was the {8-Clubs}, and Shoreman hit the rail.
