Barbero's Big Stack

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} board, the big blind was all in, and there was a side pot between Jose Ignacio Barbero and Brian Altman.

The {J-Diamonds} hit the river, and Barbero gave a speech about how he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do and who he had or didn't have beat. Eventually, Barbero checked, as did Altman.

The big blind showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, Altman attempted to muck, and Barbero showed {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a pair of jacks.

Some players at the table pointed out that because a player was all in, Altman wasn't allowed to muck. Since his cards were retrievable, the dealer turned over Altman's {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades} for queen-high, and the side pot went to Barbero.
