Barbero Busts Short of the Money

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Nacho Barbero moved all in for 129,000 before the flop and was up against Ryan Robinson.

Nacho Barbero: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Ryan Robinson: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

"I like my odds," Barbero said even though he was dominated. The {6-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} gave him a pair of aces, but Robinson won the pot with his king-kicker to knock out Barbero a few spots out of the money.

No-Limit Hold'em

David Prociak continued his tear through Day 1 by knocking out two players on his last hand, including Brian Rast. Rast was all in for around 250,000, another player had around 30,000, and Prociak had both of them well covered.

All-In Player: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Brian Rast: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
David Prociak: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The all-in player got some hope as the board came {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} through the turn, giving him two pair and a straight draw, but he missed the {5-Spades} river and hit the payout line along with Rast.
