Barry Bets River

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

James St. Hilaire opened to 55,000 from the button and was called by Aaron Pinson and Thomas Barry in the blinds.

The flop came out 4?2?Q? and action checked through to the 9? on the turn.

Pinson and Barry checked once more and Hilaire decided to toss out a bet of 75,000 which produced a fold from Pinson and a call from Barry.

On the river 5?, Barry then led out for 150,000 and Hilaire went deep into the tank. After several minutes of shaking his head and rechecking his cards, he eventually disgustedly slid his cards into the muck to award the pot to Barry.

James Sloat

James Sloat: 6?7?
Jay Jin: A?J?
