[user66118]

Action passed around the table to the blinds where Allen Bari limped in for the extra half bet. In the big blind, Phillip Reed slid out a big gray stack of T5,000 chips for a total raise of 100,000. Bari quickly moved all in and Reed made the call, putting himself at risk of elimination.

"You got a pair?" asked Bari.

Showdown:
Bari: {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

Reed:

{A-Spades}

{J-Spades}

Reed's overcards caught up on the flop of {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

. The

{A-Hearts}

on the turn and the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

on the river kept him in the lead, and Reed earned himself a double up. When the chips were counted down, Reed had a total of 460,000, leaving Allen Bari with less than 40,000 funny money to play with.
