Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Alex Barker had been open-limping the majority of his buttons at this final table, but this time he raised to 37,000. Andy Spears defended his big blind and the flop rolled out 
. Spears check-called a bet of 50,000, and the 
hit the turn. Both players checked, bringing the 
on the river. Spears checked again, and Barker fired 100,000 into the pot. Spears wasted little time in tossing in a call, but Barker tabled 
for a straight and the win.
