Stud
Barbieri: (X) (X) / / (X)
Leary: (X) (X) / / (X)
The first hand of stud was Dustin Leary's last hand of the tournament. He completed third street after Al Barbieri brought it in. Barbieri called to fourth street, where both players checked.
On fifth street, Leary made open jacks. He bet them and was called again by Barbieri. Leary bet the lead on sixth street, only to see Barbieri raise enough to put Leary all in. He called. Barbieri opened in the hole for a pair of kings and a flush draw. Leary had only a pair of jacks. Barbieri missed his draws on the river, but his kings stood strong when Leary also bricked out.
Leary leaves with a six-figure score. Barbieri is heads-up with Konstantin Puchkov for a bracelet.
