Guzzardi Straights Out Barker
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
The table folded around to Matthew Barker on the button who raised it up to 3,600. Michael Guzzardi and Ryan Otto made the call from the blinds as the three watched the flop come down 
.
Guzzardi and Otto checked then watched as Barker slid out a continuation bet of 5,200. Only Guzzardi made the call as the 
fell on the turn.
Both players checked before the dealer produced the 
on the river. Guzzardi checked one last time prompting Barker to bet out 8,300 moments later. Guzzardi went into the tank for a minute before casually placing out a raise to 20,000. Barker contemplated his decision before making the call.
Guzzardi then tabled his 
for a straight as Barkers cards went into the muck.
