Barnum Bamboozled
No Limit Hold'em
Travis Klein opened a recent hand to 600 from early position. Justin Barnum was willing to pay to see a flop and made the call from middle position. The rest of the table folded and it was heads up to the flop.
The flop came and Klein fired out for 600. Barnum countered by raising it up to 1,900. Klein's response was to three-bet to 5,900 and Barnum moved all in. The shorter stacked Klein made the call and was at risk.

Klein was going to need a club or a four to stay alive in this tournament and received no such luck on the turn. However the river did indeed give Klein the flush and the winning hand. Barnum now sits around 7,000 in chips.
