Bari Gets Rivered; Then Busts

From early position, Clayton Mozdzen raised to 675. In the next seat, Ryan Welch made the call and then Allen Bari announced, "Pot" from the cutoff seat. He put out the 675 to make the call first and was then going to raise the pot. The players behind him folded to the big blind and that player announced, "Call," but thought he was only calling the 675. The floor was called and it was ruled that the big blind must call the 3,125 that Bari had reraised to. He did so, but didn't seem too happy and then Mozdzen and Welch folded.

The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} and the big blind moved all in for 2,300. Bari quickly called. The big blind held the {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Bari a dominating {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and river the {Q-Diamonds} to give the big blind the winning hand and knock Bari all the way down to about 1,300 in chips.

Shortly after that, Bari potted preflop to 1,050 with just a few hundred behind. The next player called and everyone else folded. After the {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, Bari check-called all in with the {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. His opponent had the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

The turn was the {K-Clubs} and the river the {7-Clubs}. Bari, the 2011 WSOP $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em winner, was eliminated.

Ivey Has Returned

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

Phil Ivey is on break of the $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better, so he's back in his seat over here. When he left, he had about 11,000, and now, he is down to 6700. He has his dinner in his lap, and we're sure he's ready to gamble it up.

Jaka Busts a Short Stack

Faraz Jaka started the action by raising in early position to 650. It folded around to a player in middle position, who shoved all in for 2,550, and it folded back around to Jaka, who quickly made the call.

Jaka: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The dealer fanned out an action packed flop of {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Jaka flopped trips, but his opponent picked up the nut flush draw. The turn came the {q-Diamonds}, and Jaka still needed to dodge a heart to win the pot. The river came the {a-Spades}, and Jaka collected the pot, upping his stack to 16,000 just before the dinner break.

Negreanu Knocks Out Harman

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Good friends Daniel Negreanu and Jennifer Harman were at the same table for the last few levels, and now there is only one of them left. We missed the preflop action, but we saw that Harman got her short stack in preflop with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} against the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} of Negreanu. The flop kept Harman safe, coming {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}, but the turn changed the tides, coming the {a-Spades}. Harman did pick up a flush draw with this turn, but she couldn't hit it, as the river brought the {8-Hearts}. Negreanu is now up to 38,000 after the hand.
