Nacho Barbero opened to 22,000 from the hijack before Ari Engel jammed for 231,000 from the cutoff. Barbero went deep into the tank for over a minute before he slid a stack forward to call.
Ari Engel: 7♠7♥ 
Nacho Barbero: A♥J♥
It was a coinflip scenario and the 8♥5♥2♠ flop gave Barbero more outs.
"Never easy...always a sweat," commented Barbero.
The board ran out K♠6♦ which was safe for Engel as he got the full double at the expense of Barbero.
