No Sugar Tonight

Level 7

Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri spent the break near our table lamenting his awful last couple levels. He was down under 5,000 at the break, and he got even lower than that before he found a double. It was in 2-7 triple draw, and Barbieri chased down an {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-} to double through an opponent with {8-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-}.

That pot only pulled Sugar Bear back to 3,500 though, and it wasn't long before those were gone. According to Barbieri, he patted after the second draw, and the player who busted him drew two to make a seventy-six. We'll take his word for it; Barbieri vanished through the doors before we had a chance to ask a follow-up.
