A player opened for 4,500 from early position and action folded over to a very short-stacked Earl Barron, who pushed all in for his last 10,000 from the hijack seat. The player on the button then moved all in himself for just under 50,000 and everyone else folded - including the original raiser.

Barron: {A-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

"I need a three," the seven-foot NBA star said as he stood up from the table.

The {J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} board kept Barron behind and he shook hands with his tablemates before heading to the exit.
