Barbero Finds Aces to Double; Veyssiere Dusts Final Crumbs
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nacho Barbero and Laurent Polito had gathered 38,000 in the blinds when they saw the 4♠2♣5♣ 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: A♠A♦
Laurent Polito: K♥3♥
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: 5♥4♦
Emanvel Hovhannisyan: K♠10♠
The 9♠9♣A♠J♣7♦ runout brought no help for Veyssiere, and he swiftly exited the tournament area.
