Barbieri Rebound

Jason Tam raised from the button, Tomas Alenius folded, and Al Barbieri called from the big blind. The flop came {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and Barbieri immediately bet. Tam called. The turn was the {7-Hearts}. Barbieri quickly tossed out chips to bet, Tam raised, and Barbieri again with zero hesitation three-bet. Tam called.

The river was the {3-Spades}. Barbieri put his last 40,000 in the middle, and as Tam called he asked "You got two pair?" "I do have two pair," said Barbieri, turning over {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Tam showed his pocket kings and mucked. "That's the second time," he said, alluding to the earlier hand when Barbieri flopped a straight to crack Tam's kings.

Barbieri bounces back to 550,000 on that one.
