Barker Nets a Huge Double Through Day 1c Chip Leader Stidd
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Chuck Barker checked a 
flop from the small blind, as did Brandon Guzman in the big blind. Troy Stidd bet 25,000 on the button, and Barker check-raised to 75,000. Guzman folded and Stidd called.
Barker bet 125,000 on the 
turn, and Stidd jammed to put Barker at risk for his last 252,000. Barker immediately called.
Chuck Barker: 
Troy Stidd: 
Stidd winced as he saw his queen-high straight was crushed by the king-high straight of Barker, and after the 
river, Stidd was forced to pay off around half his remaining stack to Barker.
