Defending Champ Chips Up
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
From under the gun, defending champion Ami Barer raised to 16,000. He was called by Richard Lyndaker from the small blind and Mike McDonald from the big blind before the dealer fanned the 
flop. Lyndaker and McDonald checked, and Barer bet 27,000./ Both of his opponents folded, and Barer won the pot.
