Barnes Catches a Bluff to Bust One
Level 5
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Three players went to the flop of 3?2?9? where the button bet 1,800. Stephen Barnes called in early position, as did another opponent in the hijack.
The turn came the 4? and action checked to the hijack, who moved all in for 8,500. The button folded, but Barnes snap-called and showed 2?2? for a set.
His opponent could only show Q?J? for queen-high and was already drawing dead before the Q? river sealed his elimination.
"Tough sweat," tablemate Abdullah Alshanti joked with Barnes after the hand.
