John Barbis out in 8th place
Against Ryan Eber's A J, John Barbis ended his first significant live tournament with 7 8 spades with A Q 2 coming on the flop and no further help for Barbis.
Barbis thoroughly enjoyed the tournament, and the US$5,000 prize money certainly had him smiling. He commented that this tournament was a brilliant holiday option, never mind the cash games for those whose tournament didn't go that well.
John mostly plays internet games on 25/50 and 50/100 tables under the alias of PLATINUM, and will be playing in the forthcoming All Africa Poker tournament being held at Piggs Peak Casino in Swaziland in two weeks time.
