Barer Tanks
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
As the dealer pulled in two big stacks of chips from Ami Barer and Brian Rast on the 
board, the pot swelled. The river was the 
, and Barer, the defending champion of this event, checked. Rast announced that he was all in, and that put the pressure on Barer.
With just about 965,000 behind, Barer went into the tank. He stayed in the tank for a very, very, very long time. It was well over 10 minutes, and maybe closer to the 15-minute mark, that Barer tanked for on the river. Eventually, Rast called the clock. The clock ran all the way down to zero on Barer, and his hand was ruled dead. Rast didn't show and scooped in the pot to move to 3.325 million in chips.
