Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein

Victor Ramdin raised to 2,300 from middle position, Barry Greenstein called from the small blind, and the player in the big blind called.

The flop fell {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and action checked to Ramdin who continued for 2,500. Only Greenstein called.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and both players checked again.

Greenstein showed {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a pair of fives, but Ramdin tabled {7-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a pair of sixes to win the pot.

Crombie Pays Off Greenstein

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

We found Kevin Crombie in middle position as the break began, having bet 5,000 on a completed board of {6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Barry Greenstein made it 15,000 to go from the cutoff, and Crombie tanked into the break. After sighing and counting his stack, he flicked in a call.

Greenstein showed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a boat.

"That's the only thing that made sense," Crombie said as he smiled and mucked {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} face-up. "Just couldn't give you that hand."

Players are on break.

Chadha Doubles

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Carlos Chadha has been nursing a short stack but finally found a spot to get his stack in.

He checked in the big blind on a {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, and Shawn Daniels bet 1,000 from late position. Chadha made it 2,500 after a long tank, and Daniels called. On the {k-} turn, Chadha checked and Daniels put him all in for about 4,000. Chadha called immediately with {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for trips, and he was fading only the four queens as Daniels had {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The river was safe for Chadha.

Crombie's Got the Goods

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Kevin Crombie was facing a bet of what looked like around 15,000 from an opponent in the cutoff on a {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop, and he then shoved all in from middle position. His opponent sighed and called off his last 4,000 or so, only to see Crombie turn over {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for quads. The cutoff had {a-}{k-} and was drawing stone cold dead.
