Barbero Wakes Up With a Monster to Bust Lam
Benoit Lam moved all in for 140,000 under the gun and Khossein Kokhestani gave it some thought in the hijack before folding.
"What is your name?" small blind Leon Zeaiter asked Lam.
"Ben. Benoit in French," Lam replied.
"Good luck," Zeaiter said as he mucked.
Nacho Barbero in the big blind took a peek at his cards and snap-called.
Benoit Lam: A♠Q♣
Nacho Barbero: K♥K♣
Barbero had picked up kings and left Lam looking for an ace to survive, but he missed the 10♠7♥3♦6♣7♦ board and gave Barbero a high-five before making his exit.
"If I call, you go," Kokhestani said to Barbero, making an X sign with his hands and admitting he folded two sixes.
"If you call, I shove," Barbero replied.
Earlier at this table, Alexandros Kolonias objected to the table-breaking order and argued with the floor so loudly and for so long that a tournament official threatened to have security escort him from the room.
