Barnes Loses an All In, Wins Another
Stephen Barnes and Constantin Erhan were heads-up on a flop of 7?8?10? when Erhan got his last 16,000 in the middle from the hijack. Barnes had him at risk from early position.
Constantin Erhan: A?8?
Stephen Barnes: Q?10?
Barnes was ahead with top pair, but Erhan spiked the A? on the turn to make two pair. The river came the 8? and Erhan improved to a full house to double up.
Barnes got those chips back a few hands later. A player in early position bet 2,500 on a flop of 3?J?3? and Khaqaan Raja called in the small blind, as did Barnes in the big blind.
The turn came the K? and the early-position player bet another 5,900. Raja then moved all in for 15,100 and Barnes called, while their other opponent folded.
Raja had K?J? for two pair, but Barnes showed 4?3? for trip threes. The river was the 10? and Barnes sent Raja to the rail.
