Barbero Rivers the Nuts and Bets Big

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Igor Kurganov raised to 1,500 on the button and Nacho Barbero defended from the big blind. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {4-Clubs} on the turn and the {9-Hearts} on the river.

Barbero led out with a large bet of 6,600 and Kurganov looked him up. Barbero whipped over {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for the nut straight and Kurganov conceded.

"That's why you bet so big," Kurganov nodded in approval after the hand.
