Three Barrels, Not Enough

After an {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} flop, Chris McCormack bet 1,600 from the button after the blinds both checked. The player in the big blind chose to call. The {A-Diamonds} came on the turn, the big blind checked, and McCormack bet 3,075. The big blind called.

The {3-Clubs} came on the river, the big blind checked, and McCormack bet 5,000. Once again the big blind called, and McCormack revealed the {K-Clubs} {J-Spades}. His opponent showed {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} for the pair of nines and scooped the pot. McCormack is down to 20,000.
