Bari Binks a Double

Level 9

No-Limit Hold'em

According to a fellow reporter, Allen Bari just doubled through 2011 World Series of Poker Player of the Year leader Ben "Benba" Lamb.

Bari held {k-}{j-} against the {8-}{8-} of Lamb. There was a {q-} on the flop and then a {10-} on the turn to give Bari an open-ended straight draw. He didn't make the straight, but a {j-} hit the river to give him a winning pair of jacks.

Bari won the hand, and doubled to nearly 80,000 chips.
