Barker Sitting Above 100k
Action picked up on the river with a sizable pot brewing in a hand between the under-the-gun player and Jory Barker in early position.
With about 50,000 in the middle and the board reading 10♦5♥4♦2♥J♠, under the gun checked and Barker moved all in for roughly a pot-sized bet to put under the gun at risk, who had a little over 40,000 behind.
Cleary faced with a tough decision, under the gun went into the tank, debating whether or not to call.
"I'll show you when you fold. You'll see either way," said Barker.
Under the gun eventually flicked in the call only to see the bad news that his 10♣9♣ for a pair of tens was no good against the J♥J♦ of Barker, who rivered a set.
Barker mentioned to PokerNews after the hand that he was on his second bullet, after having busted a short while ago.
