Greenstein Struggles

Barry Greenstein has had a tough day in the office and one again hit a hurdle in the form of Justin Schwartz. Greenstein was the pre-flop raiser, making it 600 to go from early position. Schwartz, seated to the direct left of Greenstein, made the call and the two players took an innocent-looking flop of {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}.

Greenstein made a continuation bet of 1,000 and Schwartz quickly called. The turn landed another brick with the {3-Hearts}. Greenstein led out once again with a second barrel worth 1,500 in chips, and Schwartz once again made the call.

The river delivered a dangerous {K-Diamonds} and Greenstein put on the brakes, allowing Schwartz to fire 3,000 into the pot. This bet represented nearly half of Greenstein's remaining stack and with so much money in the pot, Greenstein made a frustrated fold.

Greenstein is left with around 7,000, while Schwartz moves to over 22,000 in chips.
