Barnes Short After Calling Off Sposato
Level 32
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Stephen Barnes raised to 200,000 in the cutoff and saw Gaspare Sposato call in the big blind. The 4♥7♠2♠ flop checked to the 9♠ turn, where Sposato led out for 275,000.
Barnes put in a call, and the 9♦ river completed the board. Sposato put in a hefty bet of 1,025,000, sending Barnes into the tank. After one time extension, Barnes flicked in a calling chip.
Sposato showed 9♣2♣ for a full house. Barnes took one final look at his cards before tossing them in the muck and admitting his defeat.
