The fourth episode of High Stakes Poker has aired and there was a very exciting hand played out between Barry Greenstein and Tom “Durrrr” Dwan.
In the hand Peter Eastgate raised it up with Q,8 and was re-raised by Barry, who held J,9 Hearts, the action then comes around to Mr. Dwan, who is holding a pair of aces, and he now bumps it up to again to $31K. Barry who doesn’t wanna get pushed around by Tom Dwan makes an instant call and ends up flopping top pair, the pot is at $68K and Dwan fires around $48K into the pot acting first.
Barry now has a big decision on his hands, does he raise thinking Dwan missed with AK or AQ, or does he give him credit for the overpair and fold. I think Barry, like he says after the hand is finished, had a good feeling about it and therefore put all his money in the middle regardless of what Dwan was holding. I will have to agree with Barry here, sometimes you just get that feeling in poker, it doesn’t always happen but when it does, I tend listen and get my money in there, more often than not I will end up winning the pot, even I was miles behind when the money went in. It’s simply amazes me but it’s true, anyhow Check out the hand below, the action picks up on the flop and Dwan Has Fired $48K into the middle…
