Robin Hood of Poker Strides Ahead

Current reports suggest that your current chip leader is that little known fellow Barry Greenstein (you may have seen him on the TV once or twice).

Greenstein is now on a whopping 73,000 after triumphing in a monstrous pot.

After a raise under-the-gun, Greenstein and two others see an A-6-4 flop. The original raiser continue bets 6,200, Greenstein smooth calls and one of the other callers pushes all in for 19,000.

The initial aggressor steps out of the way, but Greenstein calls, revealing pocket sixes in the process. His opponent is only able to table A-K, the eight on the turn sealing the deal before the king river has even been dealt.
