Barka Good at Showdown in Three-Bet Pot
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Samy Barka opened to 7,000 from early position, and was faced with a three-bet to 25,000 by Roeland Peeks in the small blind. Action folded back to Barka, who called after some thought.
On the 9♠6♥5♥ flop, Peeks led out with a bet of 30,000, which Barka called.
The J♣ turn and 6♣ river took some time to get through, but ultimately both players elected to check their options on both streets.
Peeks tabled A♠10♥ for a pair of sixes with ace-high, but Barka took the pot when he showed 7♦7♣ for two pair, sevens and sixes.
