Al Barbieri completed and his left-hand opponent Ben Yu raised. Todd Brunson came along and Barbieri called as well.
Yu kept firing on every following street. Brunson gave up on fifth but Barbieri called Yu down. Yu made a pair of eights on sixth but he failed to connect with his hole cards. He tried to steal the pot on the river but Barbieri called with a pair of queens and raked in a sizeable pot.
