Barksdale's Hand Caught in the Cookie Jar
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action was picked-up three ways to the turn in a hand between Nick Barksdale in the big blind, Eric Medved from early position, and Eric Douglas in the cutoff.
With the board reading K♣10♠10♥10♣, Barksdale led for 7,500 from the big blind and only Medved called.
On the K♦ river, Barksdale jammed for 38,000 effective as the covering stack. Medved would go deep into the tank, convinced that his opponent had quads. After over a minute, he slid his stack forward to put himself at risk.
Eric Medved: A♠K♠ 
Nick Barksdale: 5♠5♦
Medved held top boat and Barksdale was playing the board and Medved scooped a big one after a courageous bluff from Barksdale.
