Barnes Loses an All In, Wins Another

Stephen Barnes and Constantin Erhan were heads-up on a flop of 7♥8♦10♣ when Erhan got his last 16,000 in the middle from the hijack. Barnes had him at risk from early position.

Constantin Erhan: A♣8♥
Stephen Barnes: Q♥10♥

Barnes was ahead with top pair, but Erhan spiked the A♠ on the turn to make two pair. The river came the 8♣ and Erhan improved to a full house to double up.

Barnes got those chips back a few hands later. A player in early position bet 2,500 on a flop of 3♥J♦3♣ and Khaqaan Raja called in the small blind, as did Barnes in the big blind.

The turn came the K♥ and the early-position player bet another 5,900. Raja then moved all in for 15,100 and Barnes called, while their other opponent folded.

Raja had K♣J♥ for two pair, but Barnes showed 4♠3♦ for trip threes. The river was the 10♠ and Barnes sent Raja to the rail.
