PreFlop
Barry Greenstein is a tricky player. Typically he plays very conservatively, but every so often he throws a curve ball, like here when he raises to $7,500 pre flop.
Allen Cunningham is the only one interested in testing Barry and makes the call with a very weak - and dominated - hand.
The Flop 7, J
, 8
Cunningham figured he HAD to be way out ahead with two pair, so he checked.
With mid pair Barry didn’t have much to work with, but he had to show strength. He fired $10k at the pot.
Allen didn’t take much time to think things over - he moved all in straight away.
Not much Barry can do but give up, so he folded to his fellow multiple WSOP bracelet winner.
