Bounce for Bartholdi

Joe Bartholdi just found himself all in for 5,925 and at risk against two opponents, one of whom had him covered. Bartholdi held {A-Spades}{8-Spades}, his short-stacked foe {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}, and the one with the most to start the hand {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}.

The flop came {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. "Nine or a spade would be fun," said Bartholdi. The {4-Spades} on the turn fulfilled that criteria. Then the {7-Spades} river made things even more fun for Bartholdi, enabling him to nearly triple up as another player was eliminated.
