Barksdale 'Probably Dead' with Checkmark
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a heads-up turn of Q♦10♥J♦J♥, Nick Barksdale led for 40,000 and then his opponent shipped it in for over 120,000.
"Well, I'm probably dead, but i gotta call," Barksdale announced as he sipped his beer and made the call.
His opponent looked pretty dejected as he turned over A♠8♠, drawing stone dead against the K♣K♠ of Barksdale. The river was the meaningless 3♣ and the large pot was shipped over Barksdale as the table looked on in disbelief.
"Wha-what just happened?" was the theme going around along with "Merry Christmas" as Barksdale rocketed into the chip lead.
