Barber Fades a Chop to Double
Level 16
Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Andrew Barber: XxXx/5♥10♦10♣
Leonard August: XxXx/4♥2♦K♥
Max Pescatori: XxXx/5♦9♣ - folded
Four-handed on fourth street, action checked to Leonard August who began reaching for chips. "You check," Max Pescatori joked which elicited a smile from August before he tossed out a bet.
Pescatori called, but Andrew Barber then raised. August reraised and Pescatori folded.
Barber called, then got the rest of his chips in on sixth.
Barber finished with A♣A♥Q♣J♠ for aces and tens, while August had J♦7♠3♥ showing by seventh as he needed to improve to a low, but he missed the 9♥ and Barber doubled up.
"I should've kept Max in," August said following the hand.
