Barry Snaps Off an Opponent to Double
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A player in early position raised to 9,000 before Thomas Barry three-bet in the cutoff. The early-position player then moved all in, and Barry snap-called for 130,000. "Oh oh, I'm in trouble," Barry's opponent said.
Thomas Barry: Q♦Q♠
Opponent: A♥J♠
Barry showed down two queens and needed to avoid an ace to survive. His opponent made a pair on the J♥10♠3♣ flop, but he improved no further on the 3♥ turn or 6♠ river, and Barry secured the double up.
