Bari Gettin' By

From early position, a young player opened with one big move, sliding his remaining 3,350 chips into the middle. Action passed all the way around to Allen Bari, and he took his time debating his options before eventually electing to call. The rest of the table ducked out. The at-risk player tabled {A-Diamonds}

, a slight favorite against Bari's {K-Hearts}

.

The flop was {4-Hearts}

, which pulled Bari into the lead. He fell behind on the turn though, as the {A-Hearts}

allowed the all-in opponent to exhale and take a new breath. He wasn't out of the woods yet. The forest came crashing down on fifth street. The {5-Hearts}

peeled off the deck, re-improving Bari to the winning heart flush and sending yet another player to the exit here late in Day 1a. With that small pot, Bari has chipped up to about 17,000.
