Action folded to the player on the button and he put in a raise to 7,500. The small blind got out of the way and Blake “blakeb0921” Barousse opted to move all in for around 95,000 from the big. The button thought long and hard, breaking down and restacking his chips, before making the call.
Showdown
Barousse | ![]() ![]() |
Button | ![]() ![]() |
Barousse knew he was in trouble, but he seemed to perk up a bit when the flop delivered him a gut-shot straight draw to a jack. The
turn wasn't what he was looking for and he slowly rose from his chair, but the
spiked on the river to deliver him salvation. The button, who lost the vast majority of his stack in the hand, was clearly shellshocked as Barousse silently waited for the dealer to push him the pot.
With that, Barousse is hovering around 200K.
