Barnum Bamboozled

No Limit Hold'em

Travis Klein opened a recent hand to 600 from early position. Justin Barnum was willing to pay to see a flop and made the call from middle position. The rest of the table folded and it was heads up to the flop.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Klein fired out for 600. Barnum countered by raising it up to 1,900. Klein's response was to three-bet to 5,900 and Barnum moved all in. The shorter stacked Klein made the call and was at risk.

Klein: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Barnum: {5-}{5-}

Klein was going to need a club or a four to stay alive in this tournament and received no such luck on the {j-Spades} turn. However the river {6-Clubs} did indeed give Klein the flush and the winning hand. Barnum now sits around 7,000 in chips.
