Barbu Busts...But Not to Aces

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Earlier on Day 3, Mihai Barbu showed PokerNews a text he had received telling him that "Whatever you do - fold {a-}{a-}" According to Barbu, for the past two years he has been eliminated holding pocket aces.

This time around, it wasn't aces that Andrew Theakstone held when he sent Barbu to the rail, but rather the exact opposite.

Getting his last 100,000 chips in the middle with {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} on a {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop, Theakstone held {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a pair and would need to dodge straight or pair cards to eliminate Barbu. The turn and river came {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Barbu was eliminated.
