Nacho Fades His Way To Nearly Triple

Nacho Barbero
Nacho Barbero

Nacho Barbero knows something about winning in Punta del Este, having won here back in Season 3. Up until now, he hasn't had a big stack. However, a huge pot just went his way.

Following a {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} flop, Barbero's stack of 52,800 was in the middle with {9-Spades}{8-Spades} against two opponents. A shorter-stacked opponent with about 40,000 held {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, while a third player had both covered with {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Needing to fade spades and running full house cards, Barbero did just that as the {7-Hearts} turn and {8-Hearts} river locked up the pot for him.

He added about 15,000 since then and now commands a stack of about 170,000.
