Survival Mode

Soon after returning from break, Barry Greenstein lost a pot that knocked him back down to just 4,000 chips. A couple of hands later, he shoved his last 3,100 all in and got two callers, including Stefan Mattsson.

Greenstein held {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, and the board ended up running out {Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Clubs}, giving Greenstein the Broadway straight and enabling him to more than triple up to 10,300.
