Mendoza Cracks Aces to Bust Barer
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
James Mendoza opened to 25,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 81,000 by Ami Barer in the big blind. Mendoza called.
Mendoza called a 37,000 bet from Barer on the J♥J♦5♥ flop and then shoved over an 88,000 bet from Barer on the 3♥ turn. Barer committed the rest of his stack into the middle and hands were revealed.
Ami Barer: A♣A♦
James Mendoza: K♥Q♥
Mendoza had turned a flush and Barer was drawing slim to a full house.
The 3♦ river bricked out for Barer and he was eliminated with a half hour to go in Day 1.
