Al Barbieri is having trouble winning the pots that go to the river. He just lost another one to Mike Rocco. The two traded the betting lead back and forth on third through sixth streets. On the river, the board read:

Barbieri: {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

Rocco:

{K-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

Rocco bet the river with his open fives, and Barbieri made the call. Rocco opened {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

. Barbieri just shook his head.

"Jesus..." he sighed, his voice trailing off. He showed Rocco his own hand: a queen and a four in the hole for two pair, queens and fours. Barbieri now has just 210,000 in chips.
