Greenstein Moving Back Up

Barry Greenstein

Barry Greenstein seems to have been knocked down a little since the last time we saw him. When we caught up with him a few minutes ago we found him battling it out with a big blind player from middle position. We don't know exactly how the action went on the {5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} flop, but we know one of the players bet, and the other called.

The {J-Spades} on the turn saw the big blind check, and Greenstein fire out for 3,000. The big blind made the call and was allowed to see the river. After the {6-Diamonds} was fanned for the river the big blind checked again, and Greenstein placed a bet of 7,000.

After some inner debating the big blind made the call. Greenstein exposed {A-}{A-} for a pair of aces and the big blind flashed {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for a weaker pair of queens. Greenstein now sits around 50,000 in chips.
