Barbieri Looking Troubled

[user66118]

When we began heads up play, the atmosphere was quite jovial and friendly. The two opponents were smiling at each other, shooting each other wry glances, and generally high in spirits. They would talk about the other's play, commenting on the frequency of raises and sharing information about the cards they had been dealt. Things have changed quite a bit, at least for Al Barbieri. As his chip stack has fallen, his demeanor has dropped in equal measure.

Barbieri is looking frustrated most of the time. Gone is the laughing and joking between the players. When he is facing difficult decisions, Barbieri leans back in his chair, sighs, nervously fingers chips, and stares at his own cards. He recently removed his red sweatshirt, perhaps in the hope that it will get things going back in his direction.
