Gionni DeMers Nearly Stacks Guilherme Barbosa in Massive Pot
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
With about 45,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading 
, Guilherme Barbosa checked from the big blind and Gionni DeMers bet 27,500. Barbosa check-raised to 123,900 and Demers called.
The river brought the 
and Barbosa instantly shoved. DeMers snap-called and tabled 
for the nut sraight. Barbosa sighed with frustration and flipped over 
for the ten-high straight which had been the nuts on the turn. DeMers took the pot to catapult him into the chip lead by miles and leave Barbosa, who was the chip leader at the start of play on Day 2, rather short.
