Li Rivers Trips to Bust Barer
Uri Reichenstein limped under the gun, Behnam Patros called from the next seat, and Amichai Barer called from middle position. Samir Hage raised to 1,500 from the hijack with Krasimir Yankov calling from the cutoff, and Xuedong Li calling from the big blind. Reichenstein called, Patros called, but Barer limp-raised to 10,700. Only Li and Reichenstein called.
Three ways to the 2♠4♥9♣ flop. After two checks Barer bet 28,000 with just a few thousand behind. Li jammed for 60,000, which got Reichenstein to fold. Barer called and the cards were revealed.
Amichai Barer: A♠A♥3♠2♥ 
Xuedong Li: J♣10♠9♠3♣
Barer had aces but Barer had a lot of outs with two cards to come. The rest of the board came 7♦9♦ and Li won the pot with trips on the river, eliminating Barer.
