Barnett's Kings Hold
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Matthew Barnett opened to 85,000 in middle position and got called by Andrew Finlay in cutoff and big blind Thomas Nguyen.
They all saw a flop of 3♠7♥8♦. Nguyen shoved all-in for around 285,000. Barnett thought for a few seconds before flat-calling. Finlay asked how much Barnett had behind then after a few seconds, he folded, leaving Nguyen and Barnett to go to showdown.
Thomas Nguyen: J♣10♦9♣5♦
Matthew Barnett: K♥K♣Q♠5♥
Barnett was ahead with kings but Nguyen had some outs with a straight draw. The runout 3♦4♥ didn't help Nguyen sending him to hit the rails.
