We have just found a very interesting character on Nacho Barbero's table. The player in seat seven came to play and Barberbo has counted eight occasions on where he shoved his money in pre flop. There was no three, four or even five-betting involved, the gentleman just open-shoved his stack into the pot.
So was he a short stack?
No. Right now he has around 35,000 chips in front of him but that could change in a matter of seconds. "I love it!", Nacho smiled as he is still around the starting stack.
