Barnum Shows Down a Straight
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Miles Barnum was a few minutes late getting back from break and was still only standing by his seat when he three-bet to 3,500 in the small blind. The button called, and they went to a flop of A♦Q♠J♦.
Barnum then bet 2,500, and his opponent called. Both players checked the 10♦ turn, and Barnum then bet 5,500 on the J♠ river. His opponent took a minute until calling, and Barum showed K♥Q♥ for a straight. His opponent mucked A♥9♦.
Dave Ouellette just took his seat in this flight despite bagging up yesterday's Day 1a. Ouellette, as usual, was accompanied by his dog, Jack. "He's the famous one," Ouellette said.
