Dream Flop Nearly Ends in Disaster For Barnes
Level 4
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Six players saw a flop of A?10?2? as action checked to Paul McSherry who bet 3,500 from middle position. Only Stephen Barnes called under the gun.
McSherry bet another 6,500 on the 8? turn and Barnes again called. The river was the J? and McSherry bet 8,000. Barnes spent several minutes shuffling around his chips before sending his cards into the muck.
McSherry showed him 2?2? for a set as he took the pot. "I had ace-queen of diamonds. What a flop. I thought, how do I lose this hand?" Barnes said.
"Those are the kind of flops you get when you swap with me," Nick Eastwood, observing the action from another table, added.
