Konstantyn Holskyi opened to 3,000 from middle position. On the button, Nacho Barbero jammed for 22,000 and the action folded back to Holskyi. He confirmed the count and thought for a moment before he tossed in the call.
Nacho Barbero: A♠10♦ 
Konstantyn Holskyi: A♣Q♠
"Oh my god, what a slowroll," bemoaned Barbero as the cards hit their backs.
However, the K♠9♠3♠ brought a plethora of outs for Barbero. Unfortunately for him, the board ran out 7♣A♦ and he was sent to the rebuy desk.
