Where's the Ace on the River?

Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

A player in the cutoff raised to 450 and received a call from the player on the button. Barry Greenstein then reraise to 4,000 from the small blind, which was called by just the cutoff. When the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Greenstein bet 6,000, the cutoff called, and the {8-Clubs} was put out on the turn.

Greenstein grabbed his entire stack of around 14,000 and pushed it in the pot. The cutoff quickly called off his stack of 11,050 and the cards were turned up.

Greenstein: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Cutoff: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Greenstein's aces were ahead, but that changed when the {Q-Spades} spiked on the river to give the cutoff a straight. Greenstein was left with around 2,600 after the hand.
