There's a New Sherrif in Town

Well, we finally found our hand with Barry Greenstein. Greenstein opened pre-flop from middle position for 1,800. He was called by the cutoff player and by Jeff Lisandro from the big blind. Lisandro checked a flop of {q-Hearts} {10-Spades} {6-Spades} to the Bear, who fired out a bet of two-thirds pot, 3,600. That was enough to fold the cutoff.

With action back to Lisandro, he announced a pot-sized raise. Greenstein then re-raised all in and Lisandro called for a massive pot.

Greenstein: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, bottom two pair and the nut flush draw
Lisandro: {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, top pair and a bad flush draw

The turn came the {8-Clubs} to give each player a low draw and to give Lisandro an open-ended straight draw to go along with his top pair. He actually made a better two pair then tens and sixes with the {7-Spades} river, but that card gave Greenstein the nut flush and the better low. Lisandro is out, and Greenstein is now the leader with 77,500.

"It's not that bad," said Lisandro, looking back at that board and considering his decision to check-raise. "I hope he's got a set."

Later, after Lisandro left the table, one of the other players asked Greenstein, "Can you teach me how to do that?"

"Have people give you their chips?" Greenstein responded. "Just get old."
