Barbero Makes "Genius" Fold
Level 22
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Nacho Barbero opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Erik Seidel shoved for 3,050,000 from the hijack. Isai Scheinberg called from the small blind with a covering stack before Barbero, who covered both opponents, briefly went into the tank.
After about a minute Barbero opted to fold leaving Seidel at risk against Scheinberg.
Erik Seidel: A♣Q♠ 
Isai Scheinberg: A♥Q♥
Seidel had a small chance to scoop the pot with running spades on the 9♠2♠5♦ flop but no spade came on the Q♣ turn and the pot was chopped.
"I'm a ****ing genius. I folded pocket tens against ace-queen and ace-queen and they hit a queen" Barbero joked as Seidel and Scheinberg each dragged in their half of the pot.
