Disaster Averted

A player on the button open-raised to 300, and Barry Greenstein reraised to 1,200 from the big blind. The button called.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Greenstein bet 1,200, and his opponent folded, showing pocket eights as he did.

"An A-K-8 flop would've been disaster," remarked Greenstein. He's at 21,000.
