Greenstein Flops A Monster

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Four players took a flop with each putting 700 chips in the middle preflop. One of those players was Barry Greenstein out of the big blind. The flop came {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Player 1 checked, Player 2 (Greenstein) checked, and player 3 pushed all in for 2,900. Player 4 called the 2,900 and Player 1 folded. Action was then back on to Greenstein who re-shipped all in for a few thousand more. Player 3 called Greenstein's all in and the three players cards were flipped.

Greenstein: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Player 3: {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Player 4: {A-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

According to PokerNews Poker Odds Calculator Greenstein had a 95% chance of winning the hand with his flopped full house. The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and that increased Greenstein's odds to 97.62%. Only a three would win it for Player 3. The river was the {A-Spades} and Greenstein locked up the hand.

Greenstein knocked out Player 3 and Crippled Player 4. He is now up to 15,000 in chips.
