Al Barbieri had just lost a big pot. We caught up with him on sixth street in a hand against Chris Tryba. Barbieri raised all in with a board of x-x / {10-Spades}

; Tryba called with a board of x-x / {J-Clubs}

. When the hole cards were revealed, Barbieri tabled {10-Clubs}

for two pair, tens and eights; Tryba showed {A-Diamonds}

for just a pair of jacks. Both players missed the river.

"I didn't think you had tens," said Tryba. "I thought you were steaming."

After the hand, Tryba fell to 53,000. Barbieri is back to 24,000 again.

Neither player improved on the river. Mitchell was eliminated in 41st place.
