Big Blind Special for Barber

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante

Hold'em

After a raise and two calls in front of him, Andrew Barber defended from the big blind to see a flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Spades}. Barber checked to the preflop raiser who continued with a bet. He was called by the hijack along with Barber.

The turn brought the {6-Clubs} and Barber checked again. The preflop raiser tossed in another bet and this time Barber was the only caller. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Barber checked for the third time. His opponent bet one more time and Barber tank-called. His opponent turned over {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a missed straight draw while Barber tabled {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for top pair.
