Barer & Balsiger Battle in Big Pot
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Ami Barer opened for 100,000 and Jake Balsiger defended the big blind. The latter player proceeded to check-call a bet of 80,000 on the 
flop, and then the dealer burned and turned the 
.
Balsiger checked for a second time, and Barer kept the pressure on with a bet of 225,000. Balsiger thought for a few moments before putting together a call, and the 
completed the board on the river. Once again Balsiger checked, and Barer paused for about 20 seconds before coming out with a bet of 530,000.
Balsiger wasted little time in calling with the 
for a full house, which bested Barer's 
trips.
