Nicholas Ramsey:
Barbosa was in bad shape and would need significant help to survive. The flop did give him a gutshot, one that came in on the turn, eliciting an audible groan from the rest of the table. The river completed the board to hand Barbosa a full double and leave Ramsey with a bad taste in his mouth.
Mark Egbert had gotten to his feet, clapping his hands together with joy after doubling up.
He was getting a double for his last 315,000 counted out having held on a board.

Egbert now sits on around 700,000 which is less than half average.
