It's Easy Being Green: Barry Greenstein Wins PSIT 3 Match 14

Barry Greenstein played Zen master in his fourth match of the Poker Superstars Invitation Tournament 3 that was aired on FSN Sunday night and came out on top. His win knotted him with Erick Lindgren for the top spot on the leader board and he will surely make it to the second round of 16 players.

Phil Ivey improved his chances of advancing with a second place finish, which added another seven points to the nine he brought into the match. Ivey has two second place finishes in a row and, depending on how the rest of the elimination matches shake out, may need a win to advance.

Mike Sexton added five points to the 11 he brought into the match for a third place finish, and if round one of the PSIT 3 tournament ended today, he'd advance.

Mimi Tran didn't help her chances by finishing fourth. The three points give her 10 for the season, and she's going to have to win her final match in order to move on.

Daniel Negreanu didn't even have to show up for the last two matches to advance to the second round, but he did, and was knocked out in fifth place. He sits in third position on the leader board with 24 points.

And Chris Moneymaker was the first one out in Sunday's episode, adding zero points to the 12 he brought into the match and without a strong showing in his final elimination match, he'll be bubbled and won't make it to the next round.

Next week's show has Jennifer Tilly, Jennifer Harman, Greg Raymer, Chris Ferguson, Antonio Esfandiari and Ted Forrest battle in their fourth elimination match. PSIT 3 is shown on FSN every Sunday at 8 p.m. local time. Click here to visit CardPlayer.com's complete Internet coverage of the event.
