Barrera Spikes a King to Double Up
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Benjiman Brown limped in under the gun, and when it folded to Toby Barrera, he raised to 1,500. Mohamed Salem in the small blind, Ivan Loh in the big blind, and Brown all made the call.
The flop came 7♥4♥6♣ when Salem and Loh checked, before Brown led out for a bet of 3,500. Barrea then announced all in for 16,200. Salem then three-bet all in as well, which made Loh and Brown quickly fold, leaving the players heads up, with Barrea at risk.
Toby Barrera: K♥6♥ 
Mohamed Salem: A♦7♣
Salem had the best hand with his top pair, top kicker. But after the K♣ on the turn, it was Barrera with best hand. The 2♦ river was no help for Salem, and Barrera secured the double up.
