Greenstein Down, then Out

Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein
After the button limped and the SB completed, a short-stacked Barry Greenstein raised from the BB. Both opponents called.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The SB checked, Greenstein bet, the button folded, and the SB called. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, completing a possible flush. Again the SB check-called Greenstein. The river brought the {5-Hearts}, and once more the SB check-called.

The SB showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for two pair, while Greenstein showed {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for jack-high. Greenstein was down to just 75 chips.

Greenstein busted two hands later with the same hand that had crippled him before -- pocket nines. Having been called all-in by 4-5 offsuit, the board brought a four and five, and Greenstein was eliminated.
