Down to 50,000, Joey Weissman moved all in from early position. He was called only by Nacho Barbero on the button.
Joey Weissman: A♣7♥
Nacho Barbero: A♦2♦
Barbero hit a pair of deuces on the flop 9♥2♥4♣, but the turn card 9♦ and the river card 4♦ put two pair on the board. Both players had two pair with an ace, resulting in a split pot.
On the next hand, Weissman put all his chips in the middle for the second time from under the gun. His 75,000-chip stack was called by Barbero again and by Steven Miranda in the small blind.
On 4♦4♣6♦A♠5♦, Barbero and Miranda checked all the way through. At the showdown, Weissman showed Q♠8♠, but couldn't do much against Miranda's A♦J♥. Barbero looked at his cards one more time and mucked them to let the pot go to Miranda.
