Barron Returns the Favor

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sihao Zhang opened 24,000 from under the gun before Neil Barron three-bet all in for 122,000 from the cutoff. Zhang was in doubt for several minutes, but eventually made the call, putting Barron at risk.

Neil Barron: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Sihao Zhang: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The flop came the dreaded {10-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Barron stood up from his chair, murmuring to himself about the flopped three-outer.

The turn fell the {j-Clubs} and the table was quick to point out to Barron that he had made the unbeatable Broadway. Zhang was now drawing to a chop, which did not arrive when the river {2-Spades} hit.

''The classic stand up move'', someone else at the table remarked, as Barron sat back down again with his newly acquired chips.
