Barbero Holds
Three players had large piles of chips counted out in front of them on a flop when we arrived to a table in the corner of the room. A player under the gun had 14,000 and was thinking things over, with Nacho Barbero all in a couple of seats over for a bit over 33,000. A third player behind had put in enough to call and still had plenty back, so the player who bet 14,000 decided to fold.

Opponent:
Barbero faded the hearts and the chops as the turn was followed by a river. He said he had been wishing both players called, which surprised a couple of other players.
"I thought they both have sets," Barbero explained. "I thought [the under-the-gun player] had sixes and he had nines because he snap-called."
The under-the-gun player claimed he did muck a set.
