Nines No Good for Herstein
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Just before the last break, a player in middle position opened for 2,200 and Corey Barkach three-bet to 6,100 from the hijack. Gary Herstein, a close, personal friend of Mr. Howard Hankin, then four-bet jammed for 14,300 from the small blind. The original raiser folded and Barkach called.
Corey Barkach: 
Gary Herstein: 
It was a flip and Herstein was looking to hold to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the 
flop paired Barkach.
Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Herstein and he headed for the exit.
