Barbaro Gains Momentum

Level 2 : 50/75, 0 ante

We caught up with Cheech Barbaro about half-way into Level 2, where he was involved in a three-way pot that he ended up scooping.

There was one opening bet preflop, and the flop came {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Cheech checked, his opponent bet and both Cheech and the other opponent called. The turn came {q-Hearts}, which changed the dynamic as Barbaro now opened the betting. Both of his opponents called, and the river came {2-Diamonds}. Cheech let out another bet, and both opponents folded.

One opponent muck-showed {a-}{k-}, and Barbaro showed just one card, {j-Spades}. Cheech scooped and is now climbing the early leader board with a stack of around 6,000.
