[user198205]

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

It seems that Michael Barela has been one of the more active players left in this tournament and he got involved in another big pot recently. He raised from under the gun to 18,000. Action folded around to Daniel Quach in the hijack who called. Stefan Martin then shoved all in from the cutoff for 94,500. When action folded back to Barela he made the call and Quach got out of the way.

Barela: {a-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Martin: {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {j-Hearts} making Martin's eights the best hand and boosting his stack to 219,000. After the hand Barela was down to 149,000.
