Buck Bucceri raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and on the button, Brian Barnes three-bet to 200,000. Action folded back around to Bucceri who moved all in for 760,000 effective and Barnes snap-called.

Brian Barnes: AA
Buck Bucceri: QQ

The board ran out J10843 and the aces held up for Barnes to leave Bucceri with just 35,000.

A few hands passed and Buck Bucceri moved all in from under the gun for 35,000 to see Barnes raise to 100,000 next to act, folding out all other players.

Buck Bucceri: J10
Brian Barnes: KJ

No help came to Bucceri on the runout of AA446 and Barnes eliminated the 4-time WSOPC ring winner from the tournament.
