Barbero Takes Early Pot From Bruel
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
In a heads-up pot with 14,500 in the middle on a flop showing Q♥7♠2♦, Patrick Bruel led out from the hijack for 6,000 and Nacho Barbero made the call on the button.
The 2♣ hit the turn and Bruel kept up the aggression with a bet of 16,000, which Barbero called. On the J♠ river Bruel slowed down with a check to Barbero, who took his time, before betting 47,000. Bruel contemplated his options, but eventually let his cards go and the pot was sent to Barbero.
