Barriocanal Flops the Nuts
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Nikolaos Angelou raised from the button and Daniel Barriocanal defended his big blind.
With both players now looking at a board of 3♦4♥2♦ the hand checked through to the 7♥ on the turn. On this card, Barriocanal stepped up the aggression and took the lead for what looked like just over a million. Angelou called.
The river came the 3♠ and Barriocanal continued for another street, this time for approximately 2,500,000. After some time, Angelou called and was delivered the bad news; Barriocanal tabled 5♥6♠ for a flopped nut straight. Angelou mucked.
