A Sweet Pot for Sugar Bear

In a three-way pot, action checked to Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri after a flop of {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

When Barbieri pushed all in for 12,000, his opponents both mucked. As Barbieri reached for the chips, Rafe Furst said he'd folded pocket sixes from the small blind, at which point Barbieri showed his bluff, tabling {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. He now has 23,000.
