Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

For those wondering how Jose "Nacho" Barbero manages to be successful so consistently, take notes on the following hand. Two players limped into the pot pre-flop. Barbero, with the button, also called. Both blinds were in the pot as well for a five-way flop of {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Action checked to Barbero, who casually dropped 600 over the betting line. Only the small blind called.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}. The small blind checked, then quickly called another 1,300 from Barbero. When the river fell {7-Spades} to put a straight on board the small blind checked a third time. Barbero over-bet the pot by stacking up six yellow (1,000) chips and pushing them across the line. Barbero's opponent leaned back in his seat, put both hands on top of his head, then said, "Call." His {j-Spades}{6-Spades}, a spade flush, went down to Barbero's {a-Spades}{2-Spades}, the nut spade flush.
