The Title Will Not Be Defended

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading {8-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. Three players were in the hand, as defending champion James "Jimmy" Barnett bet 80,000 from early position into a pot of what looked to be about 120,000, John Divecha on his direct left folded and Brandon West called in the big blind.

The river came the {7-Hearts}. West led-jammed all in and Barnett snap-called.

West tabled the {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for the nut flush. Barnett saw the bad news and began to stand up as he showed the {j-Clubs}{10-} straight as his dream of repeating as Casino Employee event champion was dashed just like that early on day 2 thanks to the cooler.
