Chad Holloway

Nick Schulman raised from middle position only to have Steve Landfish three-bet from the button. Barry Greenstein made the call in the big blind and Schulman called behind. When the flop fell {7-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} , Greenstein led out with a bet only to have Schulman raise. Landfish thought for a moment before releasing, and Greenstein reraise. Shulman, four-bet, Schulman five-bet all in, and Greenstein made the call.

Greenstein: {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}
Schulman: {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}

Greenstein had flopped a set and had Schulman in bad shape. The {4-Hearts} turn improved Greenstein to a full house and left Schulman looking for a nine on the river. The crowd was on its feet as the dealer burned and put out the {8-Clubs} on the river. Greenstein's supporters cheered as Shulman's simply consoled their man.
