River Shines on Godstrey
Michael Barlow made it 3,000 from the cutoff and was called by Daniel Godstrey in the big blind.
Godstrey led for 5,500 on the A♣5♥8♠ flop. Barlow called.
The 9♣ turn led to a check from Godstrey. Barlow fired 12,000, and Godstrey made the call after some deliberation.
Godstrey announced all-in on the Q♥ river for 20,000 even. Barlow quickly made the call, which put him at risk for fewer chips as they went to a showdown.
"I've got the nuts," said Godstrey as he showed J♠10♦ for a rivered straight to the queen. This was much to the disappointment of Barlow, as he showed he had the straight on the turn when he tabled 7♦6♦ for a nine-high straight to bust from the tournament.
Barlow bought back into the tournament to start with a new starting stack.
