Big Stacks Battle
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
With action being picked up on the flop on a K?4?3? board, Bradley Coultas in the small blind bet out 100,000 before Todd Barlow potted it to 425,000 in early position. Coultas then three-bet all in for Barlow's last 156,000, which he called.
Todd Barlow: A?J?8?6?2?
Bradley Coultas: A?A?8?3?2?
Coultas was ahead with his pair of aces, but Barlow had plenty of outs in the form of a flush or straight. When the board ran out 4? on the turn and 7? on the river, Barlow did improve to the nut flush, and took the high hand. Both players had ace-deuce for the low, leaving Coultas quartered.
