Barbieri Makes a Single Pair Stand Up Again

[user75032]

Al Barbieri and Mike Rocco tangle again. Barbieri started x-x / {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

and bet every street except fourth street. Rocco called all the way, coming x-x / {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

. Barbieri bet the river and tabled a pair of aces when Rocco called. Rocco peeked down at a pair of kings and four to a straight, then mucked his hand.

Barbieri has a commanding chip lead now.
