Barry Greenstein Has X-Ray Vision

This amazing hand happened just before players broke for dinner:

Barry Greenstein, Mike Wattel, and another player four-betted it three ways pre-draw. In round 1, Barry took three cards, Wattel took two cards and the opponent stood pat. They four-bet it in round 1, too.

In round 2, the opponent stood pat, Barry drew two cards and Wattel drew one. The opponent bet, Greenstein called and Wattel called.

In round 3, the opponent stood pat, Greenstein drew one and Wattel drew one. The opponent bet and Wattel folded. Greenstein called.

Greenstein's opponent was representing a huge hand. At the end, when Greenstein called, the opponent said "You win. I have two pair." Greenstein turned over J-8-6-4-2 and took it all. The normally stoic Greenstein stood up and shouted "That's what I'm talking about! I knew what you had!"

Greenstein is up to 11,000.
