One For Nacho

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

We arrived at the table and found a board of {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Jose "Nacho" Barbero had bet 3,000, but was facing a raise to 6,500 by an opponent. Barbero called, leading to the {3-Hearts} turn card. Both checked and did the same when the {8-Diamonds} hit the river.

Barbero showed {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, good enough to win the pot and up his stack to about 55,000.
