Six players saw a flop of A♣10♦2♦ as action checked to Paul McSherry who bet 3,500 from middle position. Only Stephen Barnes called under the gun.
McSherry bet another 6,500 on the 8♥ turn and Barnes again called. The river was the J♠ and McSherry bet 8,000. Barnes spent several minutes shuffling around his chips before sending his cards into the muck.
McSherry showed him 2♣2♥ for a set as he took the pot. "I had ace-queen of diamonds. What a flop. I thought, how do I lose this hand?" Barnes said.
"Those are the kind of flops you get when you swap with me," Nick Eastwood, observing the action from another table, added.
