Easy go, easy come for the only player to win back-to-back LAPT titles. Jose "Nacho" Barbero was in the big blind and watched as a middle position player opened to 3,000 and was called by the button. The small blind then moved all in for about 12,000. Barbero tanked. He cut 26,700 chips off of his stack of about 52,000 and put them across the betting line. Everyone else folded, leaving Barbero heads-up with the small blind. It was a race, with Barbero's pocket fives the slightest of favorites against the small blind's 
. The flop brought three hearts, but no ace or king, 
. The turn and river were both black cards, 
and 
, ending the small blind's day.
Barbero is up to 70,000.
