Reigning Champ Catches Fire

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

The last time we saw Ami Barer, the reigning Aussie Millions champ, he was located in the upper area. Well, he's recently been moved to Table 32 on the main floor, and somewhere in the interim he must have caught fire as he's sitting with a mountain of chips.

In a recent hand, Barer raised to 1,025 from middle position and Andrew Hinrichsen looked him up from the button. The blinds both folded, the flop came down {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, and Barer continued for 1,250. Hinrichsen called, both players checked the {2-Spades} turn, and the {8-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Barer returned to betting, this time 5,100, and it did the trick as Hinrichsen quickly folded his hand.

It wasn't much, but it did push Barer up to the 150,000-chip mark. The defending champ is primed to not only make Day 2, but to do it with one of the bigger stacks in the room.
