[user108095]

Barry Greenstein raised to 450 from the button and got called by an opponent in middle position.

Greenstein led for 1,000 on a flop of {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

and got another call. Both players checked the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

on the turn, and Greenstein's opponent led for 2,000 on the river, which brought the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

. Greenstein reraised for his last few hundred and when the hands were revealed, his opponent showed {K-?}

{K-?}

{Q-?}

{A-?}

{5-?}

for trip kings.

"I can beat that," Greenstein said, turning over {8-?}

{8-?}

{8-?}

{6-?}

{7-?}

for a full house. Greenstein now has nearly 6,000 chips.
