Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Early position opened to 1,100 and the button three-bet to 4,000. Nacho Barbero four-bet out of the small blind to 12,000 which forced a fold from the original raiser. The button, however, five-bet shoved for around 40,000 and Barbero snap-called.

Button: A♣K♣ All in
Nacho Barbero: A♦A♥

Barbero's opponent was already out of his seat upon seeing the pocket aces. The Q♠2♦5♥3♠8♦ runout didn't help and he was sent to the rail.

Barbero jokingly commented after the hand "I play so good, first hand I bust someone flush over flush, then aces to ace-king!"
