Barbero Way Up
Team PokerStars Pro Nacho Barbero is up to about 375,000 in chips and crushing, thanks in part to some recent pots. Here's two that we gathered.
On the first hand, Barbero told us that he saw a flop four ways with 
. It came down 
with two diamonds and two players had put 50,000 chips in in front of him, with the first of those being all in. Barbero raised all in for 120,000 of his own and the second player, the caller, called the extra 70,000. The first player had a king-high flush draw while the second had 
. Barbero's hand held and he boomed up the ladder.
Shortly after that, Barbero won some more chips from the player to his right. That player raised to 4,500 from the hijack seat, Barbero called from the cutoff and the big blind also called. The flop came down 
and action was checked by the big blind. The hijack seat bet 6,000 and Barbero called. The big bind folded.
The turn was the 
to pair the board and both players checked. The river was the 
and the hijack seat checked. Barbero bet 15,500 and his opponent called. Barbero tabled the 
for a straight and won the pot.
