Barbero Shipping Out Doubles

Level 18 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Monte Hoover jammed on the button with a very short stack, and Nacho Barbero called from the big blind.

Barbero: {q-Spades}{4-Spades}
Hoover: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and Hoover doubled up.

Shortly thereafter, Barbero got all in against the other player at the table preflop.

Barbero: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Sebastion Saffari: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board came down clean for the nines, and Saffari doubled.

Then, Hoover got all in against Barbero with {a-}{8-} against Barbero's {a-}{j-}. Hoover flopped an eight, which held up. Suddenly, Barbero's once-commanding lead on his table has melted away.
