Barrett Picks Up the Goods For a Knockout
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Liubomyr Melnyk raised to 80,000 in the hijack before an opponent in the small blind moved all in for 700,000. Michael Barrett then reshoved in the big blind, and Melnyk got out of the way.
All-In Player: A♥K♠
Michael Barrett: A♣A♦
Barrett had found two aces to leave his opponent at risk, while the all-in player got some hope on the K♥8♦4♦ flop with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 6♣7♣, and Barrett stayed in the lead to send his opponent to the rail.
