Barfield Gets Paid by Nakamura

Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Andrew Barfield bet around 10,000 on a flop of 5?J?J? and Tamon Nakamura called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 4? turn as the 6? fell on the river. Nakamura checked again, and Barfield now tossed out 21,000.
Nakamura spent several minutes in the tank before he splashed in a call. Barfield showed K?J? for trip jacks and Nakamura tanked to take a small hit to his massive stack.
At the same table, Andrew Hamm has dropped down to 25,000. "Bad run," he lamented.
"It ebbs and flows," tablemate Craig Chait added.
