Greenstein on the Up

Barry Greenstein has been as busy as a bee working overtime, his stack witnessing more ups and downs than a kangaroo during mating season.

Recent times, however, have seen his chips accumulate to the 25,000 mark as a result of two all in preflop encounters.

First, Greenstein reached 20,000 with A-K versus J-J on a crowd-gasping 5-9-2-3-4 board. Several hands later he was up to 25,000, his {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} toppling his opponent's {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} on a {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{10-Spades} board.
