Barnes Catches a Bluff to Bust One
Level 5
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Three players went to the flop of 3♦2♣9♥ where the button bet 1,800. Stephen Barnes called in early position, as did another opponent in the hijack.
The turn came the 4♦ and action checked to the hijack, who moved all in for 8,500. The button folded, but Barnes snap-called and showed 2♥2♦ for a set.
His opponent could only show Q♥J♦ for queen-high and was already drawing dead before the Q♦ river sealed his elimination.
"Tough sweat," tablemate Abdullah Alshanti joked with Barnes after the hand.
