Sling a Chop on the Barbi

Al-as, Al-ack

Poor old Al Barbieri. Fairly shortly after losing that monstrous pot, Barbieri found himself dropping a few more chips -- he called Russ Harriman's 35,000 cutoff raise from the big blind, but then laid it down with a sigh to Harriman's swift all-in on the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

flop.

Down to just 45,000, Barbieri bet pot from the cutoff, leaving himself just a few thousand behind. Robert Lipkin on the big blind put him in, and there was much mirth (although with a slightly sad edge to it for Barbieri) all round when Barbieri turned over the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

and Lipkin the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

. A rainbow flop later and they were chopping the pot.
