There were four or five players left, and Greenstein had the big stack. He caught a monster hand and was heads-up against Lederer, who also had a strong hand but a smallish stack. Greenstein knew exactly how many chips Lederer had and made a big bet, but one chip short of Lederer's entire stack. Lederer called, Greenstein won the hand, and Lederer, who thought he was all-in, got up to leave the table. But Greenstein made the dealer count out the chips, and sure enough, Lederer still had one chip left.
Greenestein told the table that he did that on purpose because he wanted Lederer to stick around for another hand or two in hopes that it would keep the table tight for a couple of hands.
Sure enough, a couple of hands later, after Lederer doubled up to two chips, Greenstein went all-in with a marginal hand heads-up with another player, who folded with the best hand because he didn't want to risk going out before Lederer did.Statistics: Posted by flafishy — Tue Jan 10, 2006 1:01 pm
