Su and Greenstein Battling

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante

Barry Greenstein and Stephen Su just did some battling on two hands. On the first one, Su won the hand on sixth street. On the second one, Greenstein won the hand at showdown. Here's how they went down.

Su: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Greenstein: {x-}{x-} / {K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{A-Spades}

We picked up the action on fourth street as Greenstein checked and Su bet. Greenstein called and then led on fifth when he paired up with kings. Su made the call. On sixth street, Su picked up a fourth club on board. Greenstein checked, Su bet and Greenstein folded.

Stephen Su

Su: {x-}{x-} / {5-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{A-Spades} / {x-}
Greenstein: {x-}{x-} / {6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} / {x-}

On this hand, we picked up the action on fifth street where Greenstein bet and Su called. The action swapped on sixth street as Su bet and Greenstein called. On seventh, Su bet and Greenstein called.

"You're probably good," said Su after Greenstein called his last bet.

Greenstein turned over the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for two pair, queens and jacks, and Su mucked his hand.
