Sang His Last Song

Jose Barbero raised to 6,000 and found a caller in the small blind before Andy Griggs moved all in for 45,000. Barbero then raised again to try and isolate Griggs and it worked as the small blind player folded.

Griggs turned over {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} and as Barbero turned over {6-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} he yelled "I have two overs!"

Before the rest of the cards were dealt, Barbero was asked by a couple of table mates "Are you insane?" and "Did you not take your medication this morning?"

The board came {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {6-Clubs} to eliminate the Country singer and propel Barbero up to 296,000.
