Barbieri Cruising

Limit Hold'em:

Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri raised in early position and an opponent moved all in for only 575 total. Barbieri made the easy call and held {A-Spades} {5-Spades}. His opponent held {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}.

The flop came down {10-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} and paired Barbieri's five. The turn came the {K-Spades} and the river the {7-Spades}, giving Barbieri's opponent a pair of sevens, but it also gave Barbieri a spade flush.

Barbieri is cruising and up to 9,300.
