Nacho Barbero, now with significantly fewer chips

Bernardo Dias opened to 25,000 in the cutoff seat, and Nacho Barbero three-bet him from the small blind. He made it 75,000 to play, only to see Dias shove in for 228,000 total. Without much hesitation, Barbero made the call to put Dias at risk.

land in the door. A loud, "Yes!" came from Dias and his rail in a simultaneous eruption of celebration. In the end, the board of {9-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

gives Dias the double, shooting him all the way up to about 470,000.

Barbero is all the way back to about 200,000.
