Barbero Smacking Trips

No-Limit Hold'em

A player from early-middle position raised to 625 and then Jose Ignacio Barbero was on the button and three-bet to 1,800. The big blind moved all in for 3,375 and the original raiser folded. Barbero made the call.

Barbero held the {K-Spades}{4-Spades} and the big blind held two red jacks.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Barbero nailed trip fours. The turn was the {8-Spades} and the river the {5-Spades}. Barbero's trip fours were the best hand and he eliminated his shorter-stacked opponent and moved up to 20,400 in chips.
