Ami Barer Eliminated in 6th Place ($60,300)
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Jackson Santos opened to 1,200,000 from the cutoff before Josef Snejberg three-bet to 2,800,000 from the button. Ami Barer called off in the small blind for his last 475,000 before Santos made the call as well.
The flop came 10♣5♥2♦ and Santos check-called a 1,600,000 continuation bet from Snejberg.
Santos check-called another bet on the 7♠ turn, this time for 4,700,000.
Both players checked the 9♠ river. Snejberg could only show Q♠J♦ for a total bluff while Barer tabled J♣6♥ for jack-high. Santos showed down 8♠8♦ for just a pair of eights which was good enough to take down a gargantuan pot, close the gap between himself and Snejberg and send Barer to the rail in 6th place.
