Barnes Doubles Through Nguyen
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
The action of this hand was recounted to PokerNews by players at the table.
David Nguyen got it started with an open to 75,000 from early position before Tristen Barnes made it 200,000 from the next seat over. Nguyen made the call.
The 10♥K♥7♥ flop led Nguyen to open-shove. Barnes made the call to put himself at risk for 300,000 on the flop.
Tristen Barnes: K♣K♠
David Nguyen: Q♥Q♠
Nguyen held a flush draw, but Barnes had the best of it with his set of kings.
The A♣ kept Barnes in control, and the 6♠ river was not what Nguyen was looking for as Barnes secured the double to cross the million-chip mark.
