In a four-part series Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein tells us his life story. In the first part Greenstein talks about growing up in Chicago, learning the game of poker and hosting a college home game where lobster and steak were being served.
In a hand that stretched into the break, we found Sotirios Koutoupas shoving all in from the cutoff on a ![]()
![]()
flop. Tournament leader Juan Martin Pastor had check-raised Koutoupas, and Pastor called the shove of about 100,000.
Koutoupas: ![]()
Pastor: ![]()
Pastor had only a flush on the flop but picked up more outs as an
turn gave him a straight draw. The
river filled his flush draw and left Koutoupas shaking his head as he walked away.

A short-stacked Ludwig Fernstrom was all in and at risk holding ![]()
against the ![]()
of big stack Hugh Drummond. The nervous Fernstrom stood up from his chair and watched as the dealer put out the flop. It was a safe one for him as was the brick on the turn. No flushes or straights were possible and Fernstrom only needed to dodge a jack to stay alive.
You probably know how this story ends... a jack on the river. A loud expletive coming out of the mouth of Fernstrom as he finished just short of the money.
"Sorry dude," said Drummond as he added to his big stack.
