Jose Barbero opened, and Matt Mercurio three-bet to 40,000 from the big blind. Barbero called.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Mercurio continued for 30,000, and Barbero called. The {4-Diamonds} turn was checked around, and the {5-Hearts} river completed the board.

Mercurio bet 67,000, and Barbero started to think. He took close to five minutes before saying, “It’s either kings or ace-queen.” A minute or so more passed before he called.

“You got it,” Mercurio said and turned over {a-Spades}{q-Spades}.

A little celebration ensued from Barbero as he tabled the winning {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.
