Nick Barksdale Eliminated in 13th Place ($4,040)

Nick Becker

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action went four-ways to the flop of K♠Q♠10♣ with Nick Barksdale already all in and at risk for 45,000 in the cutoff.

It checked though to the 5♣ turn where all three players checked again. On the 3♠ river, the only bet came from Nolan Garrett in the middle position but was met by quick folds from the other two opponents.

Nick Barksdale tabled 6♠6♦ and saw the bad news when Garrett turned over 3♦3♣ for a rivered set.
