Barbero Celebrates a Scoop
Level 14
: Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Having defended out of the blinds against a raise by Nacho Barbero, Christopher Stephan and Robert Yass check-called bets on the K♦Q♠7♣ flop and 8♥ turn. They both checked the 3♦ on the river and Barbero bet again.
Only Stephen called while Yass folded and Barbero jumped out of his chair in excitement. "Finally I scoop a pot after getting scooped all day!" he exclaimed as he exposed his A♠Q♣Q♥4♠ for a set of queens and second nut low.
"What if he shows you ace-deuce?" another player remarked and Barbero instantly replied: "I bet you a million dollars he doesn't have ace-deuce." That bet was not verbally accepted but Barbero's read was right, as Stephan tossed the cards into the muck.
