Nacho Runs Into Aces

Nacho Barbero - Eliminated
Nacho Barbero - Eliminated

Team PokerStars Pro Nacho Barbero opened to 8,000 from under the gun. Action folded to Guido Ruffini in the small blind who three-bet to 22,000. Barbero called and the two were off to the flop.

{Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} were spread in front of the two players and Ruffini checked to Barbero. Barbero opted to check as well and the {9-Clubs} came on fourth street. Ruffini checked for a second time and Nacho pushed out 26,000 chips. Ruffini responded by announcing that he was all in.

Ruffini had Barbero covered and after a moment, Barbero announced a call for his tournament life.

Barbero: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Ruffini: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

Barbero was in dire need of help going to the river, and did not find it when the {8-Diamonds} struck the board.

Barbero, who won this event in the LAPT's third season, will have to settle for a more minor cash this time around.

Barbero's elimination leaves Angel Guillen as the only Team PokerStars Pro standing.
