Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

Barry Greenstein opened the action, making it 2,000 to play. He was called by two players behind and one from the big blinds, taking them four-handed to the flop.

It came down {5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} on the flop and Greenstein continued for 4,000. Only the small blind called and the turn fell the {10-Clubs}. This time the action went check-check and the small blind lead for 10,000 on the {4-Diamonds} river. It was a snap-fold from Greenstein and his opponent showed {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the nuts.

Waigel Eliminates One

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ezequiel Waigel has a lot of chips. Just now he eliminated an opponent after a short stack moved all in for 5,500 under the gun. It folded to Waigel in the big blind, who called with the best of it.

Ezequiel Waigel: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The board held for the preflop favorite on a {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Spades} runout and Waigel added some more to his already healthy stack.
