Barbieri Binks The Double Up

We caught up with the action on a flop that read {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, with Al Barbieri heads up against an opponent in position. It was checked to Barbieri, who fired out a bet. He was check raised, and he made the call. The turn was the {10-Spades}, and that's where the fire works happened. The betting was capped on the turn, ending with Barbieri sticking the last of his chips in.

Barbieri: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}

Barbieri's nut flush had his opponent's smaller flush drawing dead to the {9-Spades} for the straight flush, and that miracle didn't come on the river, the {3-Spades}. After the pot, Barbieri is up to 73,000.
