Alex-Barton Bites a Chunk Off Nakai

A three-way pot worth 80,000 was sitting beside a 10♥6♠8♠ flop. Small blind Ryuta Nakai in the small blind and Charles Alex-Barton in middle position checked the action to Clemen Deng who bet 20,000.

Nakai called but Alex-Barton raised to 125,000. Deng surrendered his hand but Nakai, after a few seconds of thought, announced all-in for 850,000.

It was Alex-Barton's turn to tank, but then jammed a stack of his chips for a call, putting himself at risk.

Charles Alex-Barton: A♦10♦ All in
Ryuta Nakai: 10♣2♦

Alex-Barton outkicked Nakai. The A♠ turn cemented Alex-Barton's lead with a two-pair making the 6♣ river a formality.
