Barksdale Has the Right Read

BrandonTemple

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Robbie Kent checked a flop from the small blind, and Nick Barksdale bet 100,000 into a pot of 180,000 from early position. Zach Davidson called in the hijack, and Kent check-raised all in with a covering stack.

Barksdale, who had 640,000 behind, tanked for two minutes before folding, and Davidson followed suit shortly after.

"Set of fours?" Barksdale asked Kent.

"Makes the most sense." Kent replied. After a moment, Kent then said, "I'll show you," and flipped over for a set of fours.

"Queens?" Kent now asked Barksdale, and Kent replied, "Kings." Kent then turned his attention to Davidson and asked, "What'd you have?"

Davidson had a wry smile on his face before he replied, "I was firmly in third."
