Barry Greenstein Scoops Massive Three-Way Pot to Seize the Chip Lead

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

Gregory Warner raised to 5,500 from under the gun, Pilar Tucker was next to act and called, and Barry Greenstein three-bet to 25,600 from the hijack. Viatcheslav Ortynskiy called from the big blind, Warner called, as well, and Tucker went into the tank briefly before folding.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and Ortynskiy potted for 39,300. Warner called, Greenstein shoved, and both Ortynskiy and Warner got all their chips in, as well.

Greenstein: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Ortynskiy: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Warner: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Warner and Ortynskiy both had the nut-low draw, and Greenstein had the lead for the high half with his aces. The turn brought the {2-Clubs}, giving Greenstein the lead for the low, as well, and the {6-Hearts} river meant Greenstein scooped the pot with a nine-high straight and six-five low to double through Warner and stack Otrynskiy.

Kirk Steele Quarters Wendy Weissman

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Wendy Weissman got all her chips in the middle before the flop against Kirk Steele, who had her covered by a wide margin.

Weissman: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Steele: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, so both players made the nut low, but Steele took the high half with a jack-high flush to take half of Weissman's stack.

Ross Ruby Quarters Marcos Fernandez

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Ross Ruby raised to 5,500 from middle position, and Marcos Fernandez called from the big blind.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and Fernandez checked. Ruby bet 6,500, and Fernandez called. The turn brought the {5-Spades}, and both players checked. The {7-Clubs} fell on the river, and Fernandez checked. Ruby quickly announced, "Pot," for 25,200, and Fernandez called.

Fernandez tabled {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a pair of tens and a six-five low, but Ruby flipped over {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the same low and a seven-high straight, so he took three-quarters of the pot to chip up.

Scott Fitzhugh and Sean Shah Send One Home

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Sean Shah
Sean Shah

With about 15,000 already in the middle and the board reading {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}, Filippos Stavrakis already had his entire stack committed, and Scott Fitzhugh bet 7,300 into the side pot. Sean Shah called. The river brought the {5-Clubs}, and the two live players each put 15,000 more into the side pot.

Fitzhugh tabled {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} for the wheel, Shah showed {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for fives full of deuces, and they split the pot to eliminate Stavrakis.

Calvin Anderson and Justin Bond Chop One

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Calvin Anderson
Calvin Anderson

With about 11,000 already in the pot and the board reading {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, Calvin Anderson checked from the big blind to his lone opponent, Justin Bond, on the button, and he bet 5,000. Anderson check-raised to 18,000, and Bond called.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts}, and Anderson checked. Bond moved 46,000 into the middle, Anderson check-raised all in, Bond called, and the two players tabled their hands.

Anderson: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Bond: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}

Both players had turned the nut straight and had identical low hands as well, but Anderson was freerolling with his diamond flush draw. It didn't complete on the {A-Clubs} river, and they split the pot.

"I like your hand," said Bond with a laugh as they each stacked their half.
