Barela Chipping Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

With a few railbirds cheering him on, Michael Barela has been adding to his stack.

Most recently he raised from the hijack pre-flop only to have the small blind, Michael Will, raise all in. Barela made the call without much thought and tabled his {A-Diamonds}{k-Spades} which was well ahead of Will's {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} allowing Barela to pad his stack. He now sits with around 55,000.
