Cabrera "Abel" to Double Up

In late position, Abel Cabrera raised to 2,600. Andrew Barter was in the cutoff, and he made the call.

Heads up, the flop came down {10-Spades} {3-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Cabrera bet out 1,200 chips, and Barter moved all in. Cabrera called off his last 15,150 chips, putting himself at risk of being eliminated.

Showdown:
Cabrera: {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades}
Barter: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, a blank, and the river was another raggy {8-Hearts}. Cabrera's set held up, doubling him up to 38,000. Barter, meanwhile, is crippled all the way back to just 2,300.
