Barnhart Flops the Joint

David Parkus was down to just 3,100 when he shoved all in from late position. Sam Barnhart flatted next door on the button, and the big blind called as well to give Parkus the chance to triple.

The board ran {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, and the two live players checked it down through the turn. Barnhart finally made a small bet of 2,000 on the river, coaxing a fold from the big blind. Parkus showed up {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for two pair.

"Look at what I flopped!" Barnhart got giddy. He flipped up his {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, and the straight flush is plenty good enough to send Parkus to the exit. With the knockout, Barnhart works his way back up to about 58,000 -- still down a chunk from where he began Day 2.
