Ami Barer Eliminated in 6th Place ($60,300)
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Jackson Santos opened to 1,200,000 from the cutoff before Josef Snejberg three-bet to 2,800,000 from the button. Ami Barer called off in the small blind for his last 475,000 before Santos made the call as well.
The flop came 10?5?2? and Santos check-called a 1,600,000 continuation bet from Snejberg.
Santos check-called another bet on the 7? turn, this time for 4,700,000.
Both players checked the 9? river. Snejberg could only show Q?J? for a total bluff while Barer tabled J?6? for jack-high. Santos showed down 8?8? for just a pair of eights which was good enough to take down a gargantuan pot, close the gap between himself and Snejberg and send Barer to the rail in 6th place.
