allenbari Allen BariBusto 8 game.. Lost a large pot to some kid who is good at 1 game and thinks he's a champ at the other 7.. Can't take it much longerJune 20 2012
Action folded to "Miami" John Cernuto in the cutoff and he raised to 3,000. Noah Schwartz was in the small blind and opted for a three-bet to 4,500, which Cernuto called after the big blind got out of the way.
Schwartz led out on the flop, Cernuto called, and then both players checked the turn. Schwartz returned to betting on the river, which proved enough to get Cernuto off the hand.
Noah Schwartz raised to 1,500 under the gun and received a call from Chris Moorman, who used all green T25 chips, in the hijack. When the flop fell , Schwartz checked and Moorman casually put out a bet of 2,000. Schwartz responded by check-raising to 5,100, and Moorman thought for about two minutes before sliding his stack of 15,650 into the pot.
Schwartz shot back in his chair and said, "How much? I got the whole Moorman acting and everything." As the dealer verified Moorman's stack, Schwartz added, "I'm 94.7% calling." Sure enough, that's what he did.

The turn was the ending Kenney's tournament run. The river was the meaningless as Kenney paid for his massage and left the tournament area. McClung is now one of the big stacks in this event.
