Barry Greenstein is a joker.
Barry Greenstein is a joker.

Stephen Su brought it in with the {6-Spades}, and Barry Greenstein completed with the {k-Clubs}. Su called. Greenstein led out on fourth, fifth, and sixth street, and Su finally mucked on sixth.

Su{x-}{x-} / {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Greenstein{x-}{x-} / {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Before mucking, Greenstein looked down at one of his hole cards.

"I guess the ace of spades is marked," he joked.

Bloch Wins Two

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

We caught up with the action on fifth street, where Andy Bloch called a bet from Stephen Su. Both players checked on sixth, and Bloch led out on seventh. Su called.

Andy Bloch{x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} / {x-}
Stephen Su{x-}{x-} / {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} / {x-}

Bloch turned over {q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for two-pair, and Su mucked his hand.

Two hands later, Su brought it in with the {3-Clubs}, Barry Greenstein completed, and Bloch called. Bloch led out on fourth street, Greenstein called, and then Bloch check-called bets on both fifth and sixth street. Bloch led out on seventh, and Greenstein tank-called.

Greenstein{x-}{x-} / {7-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {x-}
Bloch{x-}{x-} / {4-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} / {x-}

Bloch tabled {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for two-pair again, and scooped up the pot.

"Good dinner break," Bloch said with a smile.
