Barry Greenstein Eliminated in 9th Place ($30,000) Log: Barry Greenstein raises to $60,000 from very early position and Devin Porter reraises $200,000 more. Greenstein immediately moves all in, and Porter calls. Greenstein shows A-K, and Porter shows A-J. Greenstein has Porter in bad shape as we head to the flop. The flop comes Jh-6c-4h and the tables have turned, now Greenstein needs a king to stay alive. The turn brings the 4s, and the river the 3c, and Greenstein is eliminated on a bad beat. Barry Greenstein earns $30,000 (which will undoubtedly be given to charity) for his efforts. Barry Greenstein keeps a copy of his book, "Ace on the River," with him during tournaments lately. Whenever he is eliminated, he signs that copy for the player that busted him, with a brief description of the final hand. (If he wins a tournament, he signs the book for the runner-up.) As Greenstein hands this book to Devin Porter, someone in the crowd shouts, "Did you address that to donkey?"

Guys....this could have happened to any observant player....Barry G is a control player.....(Matusow, raymer, Hellmuth, are these types)A control player can raise with a VERY WIDE RANGE OF HANDS FROM UTG.....They look at position a little different than most of you.....They look at being out of position as an opportunity to lead out and keep chopping away small pot after small pot.....from weaker players.This guy maybe was taking a stand against an onslaught of preflop raises from Barry G...and he got caught by a real hand....Or of course...He's just a Donkey....take your pick.

I think he was taking a stand by raising to 200K - once Barry pushes in his stack (probably close to 600K based on the most recent chip count), I would think a top player would make the laydown
