Barnes Finds Double
Level 27
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Gregory Pon limped for 125,000 from the button. Tristen Barnes went all-in for his remaining 150,000 from the small blind before Henri Perez Lopez went all-in from the big blind. Pon folded as Barnes and Lopez went to a showdown with Barnes at risk.
Tristen Barnes: 8♦2♥
Henri Perez Lopez: 6♠6♥
Barnes was down to crumbs, but the flop gave him hope when it came 10♥2♦3♦ to give him additional outs.
Lopez stayed ahead on the 4♣ turn.
Barnes was calling for a deuce, but his other card came instead when the 8♠ came on the river to keep his tournament hopes alive.
Barnes shoved on the next hand and would get no callers to build up his stack further.
