Nacho Barbero

Adrian Mateos raised 16,000 in the hijack and he received calls from Nacho Barbero in the cutoff, Philip Sternheimer on the button as well as Carlos Chadha in the big blind.

All four players checked to the 8437 turn where once checked to again, Barbero fired 27,000. Blom called and Chadha used a time card before check-raising to 81,000. Only Barbero made the call.

The 3 paired the board on the river and Chadha went into the tank once again. After using another time card, he tapped the table and Barbero checked back.

Chadha rolled A9 for a busted flush draw before Barbero tabled Q10, turning the queen-high flush.
