Barbero Holds

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Three players had large piles of chips counted out in front of them on a {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop when we arrived to a table in the corner of the room. A player under the gun had 14,000 and was thinking things over, with Nacho Barbero all in a couple of seats over for a bit over 33,000. A third player behind had put in enough to call and still had plenty back, so the player who bet 14,000 decided to fold.

Barbero: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Barbero faded the hearts and the chops as the {2-Spades} turn was followed by a {4-Diamonds} river. He said he had been wishing both players called, which surprised a couple of other players.

"I thought they both have sets," Barbero explained. "I thought [the under-the-gun player] had sixes and he had nines because he snap-called."

The under-the-gun player claimed he did muck a set.
