A Bitter One for Barbero

With the board showing {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Jose "Nacho" Barbero made a pot-sized bet of 2,200, the player sitting to his left reraised the pot, and Brian Rast got out. The action back on Barbero, he thought at length about what do, enough time for the coffee he ordered earlier to arrive. Finally, with a bit of a pained look, Barbero reraised enough to put his opponent all in, and the call was made.

Barbero showed {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for top two pair and a gutshot to Broadway. His opponent tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for the nut flush draw and one pair. The turn was the {A-Clubs}, meaning both now had top two. But the river was the {J-Diamonds}, giving his opponent the flush.

Barbero now has 12,000 and a hot cup of coffee, to which he's presently adding sugar.
