.
The action started when four players saw the flop. Everyone checked and the came on the turn. The action checked to Barnes who bet 1,725 and got one caller.
On the river, the action checked to Barnes again when the hit and paired the board. Barnes bet 3,300 and his opponent raised to 8,000.
Barnes thought for a second and looked pained, but grabbed his original bet and frustratingly smacked down enough chips to call the bet, making a muffled thud as his hand hit the table.
His opponent turned over 
for a straight and Barnes showed 
for a flush, which was good enough to win the pot.
Barnes' best HPO Regional Main Event finish came when he got third place as part of a deal at HPO Lawrenceburg for $31,000.
