Sick WSOP RAZZ Hand

So things were going great for me in the $1500 WSOP RAZZ event. We were down to 40 players, 48 in the money and I had a confortable number of chips. At this point I was probably in the middle of the pack. Which means I had a 1 in 40 chance of winning the braclet! Then the table changed, being Barry Greenstein came to our table, with a boatload of chips. He had everyone covered easily. So this sick hand comes up. Barry raises the bring in with a six showing. He and an eight go to forth street. The eight catches a Jack and Barry catches a six. The Jack bets and Barry insta-calls. Then on fifth Barry catches a third six and the Jack caught bad again, think a ten. The Jack bets and Barry goes into the tank. He finally calls, remember he has 3 sixes showing! The Jack catches a nine and Barry catches a ten. The Jack bets again and Barry calls. They get dealt the river card and the Jack checks. Barry goes into the tank and eventually bets. Remember he has three sixes and a ten showing. The Jack pays him off. Barry made a Ten eight on the river, which beats the Jack's Ten nine. What a sick value bet Barry made here. After this hand I told my wife he was playing so well that the braclet was going to be his. I was proven right the next day. So he calls bets with three sixes showing on 5th street! Not only does he get there but he thin value bets a crappy hand in Razz. He could have been facing a weak nine but somehow knows this isn't the case. I tell you Barry was in the zone big time at this point. Look for some more sick RAZZ hands in the coming days. Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables. Tony
