Barbero Hits the Rail
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Morten Klein opened to 24,000 from the hijack and was called by Tom Orpaz in the cutoff and Erik Seidel in the small blind. Nacho Barbero then moved all in for 254,000. Klein folded while Orpaz stuck in the call. Seidel got out of the way leaving Barbero all in and at risk against Orpaz.
Nacho Barbero: 6♠6♦
Tom Orpaz: 8♥8♦
Barbero was in bad shape against Orpaz' higher pocket-pair. He found no improvement on the 4♣K♣K♥8♣4♥ runout, resulting in his elimination while Orpaz extended his lead over the rest of the field.
