Not So Sweet for Sugar Bear

Al Barbieri
Al Barbieri
In a heads-up pot between Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri and Jan von Halle, the two men watched a flop come down {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {2-Spades}. Barbieri came out with a bet of 12,000 and Von Halle put in the call.

Fourth street came the {6-Diamonds}. Barbieri bet again, 31,000 this time. Von Halle looked like he wanted to do something drastic, but he elected to simply make the call to see the last card.

The river was the {Q-Clubs}, and Barbieri moved all in. Von Halle instantly called, tabling {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for the straight. His flush draw never materialized, but he filled in his gutshot on the river for the stone cold nuts. Barbieri showed his {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}, and he would pace behind the table for a few minutes before making his way to the payout desk, looking rather peeved.
