Nacho Barbero Takes Massive Lead with Double KO

Level 17 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Nacho Barbero
Nacho Barbero

We were informed of a big three way all in on Table 443. The players were Nacho Barbero, Andreas Hoivold, and Andrew Teng. Barbero had the other two covered and the cards were flipped.

Barbero: {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Hoivold: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Teng: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

It was a hand up for grabs. The player to grab it on the flop was Barbero when he hit {k-}{9-}{6-}. He furthered his lead with another king on the turn. The river was {4-} give Barbero a full house and eliminated two players in the process.

With the double knockout, Barbero has 200,000 which is nearly half the chips in play and five people still remain.
