Greenstein Chips Up

Milko van Winden

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

It looks like Barry Greenstein has won some pots. Last time we checked, he had about 6,000 in front of him and right now it's more than double that amount.

After a player opened to 300 and another player called, Greenstein made it 1,200 and that was enough to make both opponents fold and take down the pot.

Maurice Hawkins opted for a reentry and is two tables away from Greenstein.
