Barnhart Doubles A Shorty

Sam Barnhart, who won the National Championship in Las Vegas two years ago, is here in LA grinding another Circuit main event. Barnhart had a good first few levels, but we just caught him doubling up a short stack, knocking him below starting stack in the process.

We came to the table as Barnhart was facing the 1,000 all in on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Barnhart reluctantly made the call, and he saw that his {k-Spades}{j-Spades} was well behind the {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of his opponent. Barnhart would need a ten or some form of runner runner to win the hand, and while the turn wasn't the ten, it was the next best thing, the {a-Spades}. This gave Barnhart flush draw outs as well, but the {j-Hearts} came on the river, pairing Barnhart but keeping his opponent in the lead.

After that one, Barnhart dropped to 19,500.
