The Barry Greenstein Special

There's not too many UK players here at this tournament, but one of them who is here is Benedetto Passantino. He said he was on, "Eighty thousand," which I found hard to believe before he mentioned it was "Eighty thousand, divided by ten," which semed like a much more reasonable figure. As we spoke there was some craziness on the table as two player got all-in on the board reading 3♣ 2♠ 9♦ J♦ with A♠ A♥ and J♥ 9♣ respectively. The river was soul-crushing for the big blind, the 'Barry Greenstein special' - an ace on the river, the A♣ which saved the UTG raiser from being eliminated.
