Barbero Doesn't Go For Value on the River
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With the pot standing at approximately 40,000 both Galen Hall in the small blind and Jose Ignacio Barbero in the hijack checked the action to Yasuhiro Waki on the button who opted to check behind to a turn.
The full board now read 2♥A♥4♠2♠. With the action checked to Barbero, he led out for 14,000 with only the Hall continuing.
The 6♦ fell on the river and the action checked through. Hall showed J♥9♥ while Barbero showed A♠7♠.
Once the pot was shipped his way, Barbero was quick to announce he thought his play was a "nitty check-back".
