Barry Greenstein Writes His Own Epitaph

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We got the info on this hand from a written historical record--the copy of Ace on the River that Barry signed for the player who knocked him out. With the board reading {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

Greenstein held the second nut flush with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

, but his opponent had the nut flush with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

. And that brought Greenstein's day to an end and gave his opponent a nice addition to his library.
