Trips for Greenstein

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Barry Greenstein

Barry Greenstein was in the big blind in a heads-up pot against the small blind.

The small blind checked on the flop of {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Greenstein bet 9,000. His opponent called. The small blind again check-called on the {3-Diamonds} turn when Greenstein sized up to 20,000.

The small blind checked a third time on the {7-Spades} river and Greenstein checked back before showing {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for trips to win the pot. After the hand, Greenstein thought aloud whether he could have gotten another bet in on the scary board.

"You don't want to get called," someone said.

"Exactly," agreed Greenstein.
