Barrett Booming Early

When we wandered into the Oasis Room we noticed that Josh Barrett was already sitting behind a stack of over 40,000. We asked him how this happened and he let us know. Apparently Barrett held {k-Hearts}{k-} in the big blind and three-bet one opponent who opened from late position. The player called and a {9-}{10-}{j-} flop was dealt - with two hearts. Barrett led out for 900 here and his opponent shipped it in for 20,000. Apparently this baffled Barrett and after plenty of thought he eventually made the call.

Barrett was in trouble though, with his opponent turning over {k-}{q-} for the nuts. They wouldn't stay the nuts for long though as Barrett hit runner-runner hearts to pick up a flush.
