Six on the Turn Saves Barbosa

Joao "joaobarb" Barbosa opened for 800 under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to "bullyon" in the big blind. Instead of giving it up, bullyon exercised his option with a raise to 2,100. Barbosa responded by moving all in for 13,282, bullyon snap-called, and the cards were turned up:

Showdown
Barbosa: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
bullyon: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Barbosa's tournament life was on the line and he was dominated. The {2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop wasn't much help to Barbosa, but the {6-Diamonds} was! The harmless {9-Spades} was put out on the river and Barbosa double to over 27K.
