Assuming he only had aces (which seems like a fair assumption) this is an easy fold for Barry. His opponent's call on 5th is a pretty strong play against Barry's board, and practically guarantees he has a pair already.
When his opponent makes an open pair, he can almost always beat two aces, but Barry chose to keep the lead on 6th anyways because he has a lot of equity (I'm guessing from his river check-fold that he started with a bad card in the hole), and probably to avoid readability in these situations. When his opponent calls, he has two pair or better pretty much 100% of the time.
On the river Barry doesn't improve, so he just check-folds to his opponent's obvious value bet. Calling in Barry's spot would be pretty retarded.
