How David Barter Got Up to 376,000 in Two Hands

On a flop of {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} Dwayne Vetter bet 20,000, David "ComptonMasta" Barter raised to 55,000, Vetter moved all in and Barter called.

Barter {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Vetter {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, the river was the {4-Diamonds} and Vetter was eliminated while Barter's stack shot up to 265,000.

On a subsequent hand, Barter raised to 7,500 from the cutoff, the small blind moved all in and Barter called.

Barter {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

Small Blind {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

The flop was {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} , the turn was the {5-Diamonds}, but the {A-Spades} landed on the river, giving Barter the pot. He's now up to 376,000.

Sebastian Segovia Doubles through Chris Weaver

After the pot was raised and reraised preflop, Chris Weaver led out for 15,000 on a flop of {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {5-Spades}. Sebastian Segovia raised to 45,000 and Weaver called. The turn was the {7-Spades}. Weaver moved all in and Segovia called all in for 48,700.

Weaver {K-Hearts} {9-Spades}

Segovia {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}

The river was the {J-Spades} and one-time chip leader Weaver shipped most of his stack over to Segovia. Weaver is down to only 28,000 while Segovia has over 240,000.

Minh Nguyen Makes a Big Laydown

Action folded around to Christian Hunichen in the cutoff seat and he raised to 9,000. Minh Nguyen called from the button and Christian Holt pushed all in for 26,800 from the big blind. Hunichen reraised all in for approximately 90,000 total and Nguyen threw his hand away.

The players showed:

Hunichen: {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}
Holt: {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

The sixes held for Hunichen and Nguyen, who showed {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}, likely regretted the fold. Christian Holt was eliminated on the hand. Nguyen was left with 85,000 chips while Hunichen climbs to just over the 163,000 chips mark.

Dan Martin Eliminated

After a raise from late position, Dan Martin moved all in from the button. The small blind passed and Paul Kerr reraised all in from the big blind. The late-position raiser folded and the players showed:

Martin: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}
Kerr: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} and Martin was eliminated.

Ernie Crespo Doubles Again

With 20,000 in the pot on a flop of {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts}, Ernie Crespo moved all in from UTG for 26,500 and after a stint in the tank, John Francis made the call from the button.

Francis {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}

Crespo {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

The turn was the {K-Hearts}, the river was the {4-Spades} and Crespo dragged the pot in a far more subdued manner than last time. No screaming, just a good old fashioned fist-pump to the sky.

Crespo is now up to 70,000 while Francis slipped to 65,000.
