Middle Position: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Big Blind: {10-}{10-}

Barnes Binks Big One to Send Opponent to The Rail

Level 17 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With action on the small blind, he moved all-in for 171,000 chips. Tristen Barnes had a decision in the big blind and after several glances back at his cards, ultimately he decided to call off for a significant amount of his stack with {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}. He opponent tabled {k-Spades}{8-Spades} and they were off to the races.

The board of {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} wasn't a favorable one for the Oregon native but the {j-Hearts} helped Barnes in a big way, keeping the dream alive and busting an opponent at the same time.

River Card is Good For Brito

Level 17 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jose Brito {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Opponent {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} giving Brito a ton of outs with the flush draw and two over cards.

The {7-Diamonds} turn did not improve Brito, until the {q-Diamonds} river fell to lock up the hand and knock out his opponent.
