Nacho and the Nuts

Nacho Barbero opened the pot to 15,000 from early position, and big blind Bernardo Dias made the call to see a flop.

It came {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {5-Spades}, and both men checked. When the {9-Spades} hit fourth street and Dias checked again, Barbero fired out 21,000 chips. Dias called, and the {A-Clubs} filled out the board on fifth street. Dias check-called another bet on the final round, matching Barbero's 38,000-chip wager.

Those chips would not return to him. Barbero tabled the nuts with {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}, and his full house was enough to drag down a nice little pot. He's up to 430,000, dropping Dias down to about 215,000.
