Barnes Out-Kicks Wu
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Chingda Wu opened to 3,500 from the hijack and Christopher Barnes three-bet to 11,000 on the button. The blinds folded but Wu called to see a flop of Q♠4♠4♦.
Wu check-called bets of 6,000 from Barnes on the flop and 20,000 on the 7♣ turn. The river brought the 10♥ and Wu checked for the third time. Barnes moved all in as the bigger stack which put Wu in the tank for a couple of minutes.
Wu eventually called off his stack of 48,500 and turned over K♦Q♦. However, Barnes held A♠Q♥ for the better kicker and Wu was eliminated.
