I just stopped by Barry's table and had a little chat with him...
Me: Well done yesterday, Barry.
Him: could have played better
Me: 16th is impressive. Big field.
Him: had enough luck to get to the final table. made about four bad decisions.
He later mentioned to someone else that his "miscounted" a bet or something? Thinking someone only had 200 more? I'm not really sure what that means, since there are no chip stacks in front of people, and the bet amount you need to call is written numerically too. Maybe he assumed someone's goofy bet (197, for example) was an all in bet, when it really wasn't and he called with the 24 from the BB. Just a guess. I've made that mistake before.
