Barbero Finds Aces to Double; Veyssiere Dusts Final Crumbs

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nacho Barbero
Nacho Barbero

Nacho Barbero and Laurent Polito had gathered 38,000 in the blinds when they saw the 425 flop. Barbero placed a bet of 17,000, which Polito raised to 65,000. Barbero then moved all in for 121,000, and Polito snap-called.

Nacho Barbero: AA All in
Laurent Polito: K3

Polito's straight draw was not completed on the 10 turn or J river, and Barbero's aces held for the double-up.

Over at another table, Julien Veyssiere pushed in his stack of 77,000 from the small blind. Emanvel Hovhannisyan called with a covering stack in the big blind, and the cards were tabled.

Julien Veyssiere: 54 All in
Emanvel Hovhannisyan: K10

The 99AJ7 runout brought no help for Veyssiere, and he swiftly exited the tournament area.
