Nacho Barbero had just lost a blind-vs-blind pot in the previous hand against Vladimir Korzinin. The very next hand when it folded to Barbero on the button, he shoved for his last 20,000. Korzinin made the call from the small blind to put him at risk.

Nacho Barbero: A♥7♥ All in
Vladimir Korzinin: 3♦3♥

The runout of 7♦K♠3♣9♥K♣ gave Korzinin a full house and Barbero was sent to the rail.

After an early position raise from Paul Newey, Nacho Barbero three-bet shoved for roughly 25,000 from the button. Vladimir Korzinin moved all in himself for 100,000 from the small blind and Newey folded.

Nacho Barbero: A♣10♠ All in
Vladimir Korzinin: J♦J♣

Barbero needed some help, or he would most likely be headed to the re-buy desk. The runout of 2♠K♥A♠10♥A♦ improved Barbero to a full house, aces full of tens, keeping him alive in the tournament.
