[user66118]

Joao Barbosa opened the pot to 20,000, and Ruben Visser three-bet to 46,000 a couple seats over. Next to him, Andrei Vlasenko moved all in for 182,000. That was enough to quickly fold Barbosa, but Visser made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Barbosa was poised for a much-needed double up, and that's just what he would get. The dealer ran out the board: {K-Hearts}
