Barua Chips Up Through Viola

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Andres Viola opened with a raise to 17,000 from middle position and he was called by Hector Barua, as well as Roberto Piazza from the small blind and Gustavo Prato from the big blind.

The flop was {8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and both blinds checked to Viola who bet 27,000. Only Barua called.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} which both players checked, leading to the {10-Spades} on the river. Viola fired again, betting 58,000. Barua thought for about a minute before calling. Viola showed {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for missed flush draw, but Barua had him beat with {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a missed flush draw of his own, but with a pair of eights. That allowed him to take down the pot and move to almost 600,000 chips.
