Maerki Pays Off Barbero's Value Bet
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With roughly 32,000 in the pot on a board of 6♠Q♣3♦2♠, Nacho Barbero checked from the small blind and Luca Maerki checked back from the hijack.
When the A♣ came on the river, Barbero led out for 15,000 and Maerki went deep into the tank. After using two of his time extensions, Maerki tossed in the call.
Barbero flipped over A♥10♣ for a rivered pair of aces, which was good as Maerki mucked his cards.
