Barry Had a Little Lamb

[user46392]

There had been at least one raise before the {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} flop, and when we arrived on the aforementioned flop, Barry Greenstein (small blind) had already bet in the dark. Ben Lamb (button) made the call.

Greenstein bet in the dark before the {2-Clubs} turn as well and once more Lamb called. He rather gave up on the {9-Spades} river, though, and Lamb checked behind.

Greenstein: {a-Diamonds} {k-Diamonds}
Lamb: {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs}

Lamb's pocket fives took the pot, and Greenstein was reduced to 9,000.

----

A few hands later, Greenstein and Lamb got involved again, this time in a blind on blind confrontation. Greenstein was all in for around 5,000 total on the turn of the {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {4-Spades} {5-} board, and Lamb had made the call. "You're drawing dead," said Greenstein as he flipped {j-} {6-} for a straight and Lamb turned over the trailing {a-} {k-} - although someone swiftly pointed out that Lamb could pick up a six on the river for a chop. Either way, the six didn't come, and Greenstein doubled back up to 10,000 or so.
