Barnhart Keeps On Rolling

Andrew Webking came in for a raise to 38,000, and action folded to Sam Barnhart, who raised it up to 121,000. Webking then announced himself all in for around 700,000, and Barnhart made the call. The cards were flipped, and Barnhart was in great shape to scoop the big pot.

Barnhart: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Webking: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Webking would need a ton of help to survive the hand, and he got none of that on the flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}. The {5-Hearts} hit the turn, eliminating any possible backdoor draws, and Webking would need a jack and a jack only on the river. The dealer laid out the {2-Hearts} on the river, and Barnhart took the pot. Barnhart is having himself quite a year so far, as he has already won two big tournaments this year.

Barnhart first won the WSOP Circuit event in Tunica In February. That win qualified him for the National Championship that was held at Ceasers Palace Casino just before the World Series started. Well he would go on to win that as well, and now he is setting himself for a triple crown of sorts, as he is sitting on a healthy 2.8 million.
