Michael Barela Eliminated in 12th Place ($4,865)
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Once near the chip lead, Michael Barela has steadily bled chips until finally stacking off with ace high.
Barela raised to 24,000 from the button found a customer in Stefan Martin, who called from the big blind.
The flop showed and Martin quickly checked. Just as quickly, Barela announced his was all in for his last 80,000. Martin snap-called and showed for top pair. Barela tabled for ace high and needed help to avoid elimination. The turn and river were no help to Barella, who exited in 12th place and pocketed $4,865 for his efforts.
Martin, meanwhile, is standing strong at 320,000.
