Barbero Scoops Massive Pot to Lighten the Field and Leave Lonis Short
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jesse Lonis and Nacho Barbero already had chips in front of them when the player in the big blind raised pot to 40,300. Lonis raised pot again to 133,200 from the cutoff and Barbero called on the button. The big blind called all in for less.
Lonis shoved on the 9♦8♥3♥ flop and Barbero quickly called all in to put himself at risk.
Big blind: A♣K♣Q♥2♥
Nacho Barbero: 10♠9♠8♣7♦
Jesse Lonis: A♦A♥Q♣J♣
Barbero had flopped two pair with an open-ender and the 9♣2♠ runout improved him to a full house — eliminating the player in the big blind and leaving Lonis short.
