Greenstein and Viox At It Again

[user40108]

Barry Greenstein and Chris Viox just played a pot that resulted in a showdown. With the exception of fifth (which was checked) and seventh streets, the player in the lead bet and was called the whole way. By the river, the players showed:

Viox: (X) (X) {8-?} {5-?} {3-?} {6-?} (X)
Greenstein: (X) (X) {3-?} {5-?} {7-?} {9-?} (X)

Viox checked the river and Greenstein bet 24,000. Viox quickly called and Greenstein showed ({A-?}) ({3-?}) ({4-?}) {3-?} {5-?} {7-?} {9-?} for a {7-?} {5-?} {4-?} {3-?} {A-?} low. Viox mucked and Greenstein picked up the pot.

Tight Is Right

In the ten or so hands played since break, we've still yet to see a showdown, or even sixth street. The play is pretty standard at this point. The player with the best hand will bet and get called by an opponent with a slightly weaker hand. When the player with the weaker hand is an obvious dog, they give the hand up.

Viox Spreading It Around

Chris Viox just gave up a few more chips. This time they went the direction of Chris Klodnicki. These two went to showdown and, not unlike in the hand against Greenstein, Viox was in disbelief when his hand came out second best.

Viox showed a {9-?} {4-?} {3-?} {2-?} {A-?}, but Klodnicki opened his down cards to reveal a {8-?} {7-?} {5-?} {4-?} {3-?} to take the pot. He is now up to 243,000 while Viox slips further to approximately 465,000.

Greenstein Takes the Chip Lead

In a big hand with Chris Viox, in which Viox led the betting the whole way, Viox showed a {9-?} {7-?} {4-?} {3-?} {A-?}. Viox, based on his actions, believed the hand to be good. That was until Greenstein rolled over a {8-?} {6-?} {3-?} {2-?} {A-?} for the win. With betting on every street, that pot catapults Greenstein into the chip lead with 661,000.
