Barnum Handed Early Cooler from Van Syckle
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
Bob Van Syckle limped-in from under the gun only to have Justin Barnum fire out a 700 raise directly to his left.
Two players called along with Van Syckle, bringing action three-ways to a 
flop.
Action was checked to Barnum who continued for 1,500 and found one caller before Van Syckle check-raised to 5,000. Barnum three-bet jammed for 18,300 and action folded back to Van Syckle who called off his 17,300 stack.
Justin Barnum: 
Bob Van Syckle: 
Barnum was looking good after both players flopped a set, but the dealer dropped the 
on the turn, improving Van Syckle to quads.
Barnum was unable to find the case jack on the river as the 
completed the board and Van Syckle collected the early double.
