Barbero Scams Taylor to Double Up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Thomas Taylor raised it up in middle position and Nacho Barbero just flat-called on his left. The flop came 7♠3♠2♣ and Taylor checked to Barbero who bet the pot for 18,500. Taylor instantly check-raised the maximum and Barbero called off his stack of 42,500.
Nacho Barbero: K♠10♦9♦8♠
Thomas Taylor: A♠K♥Q♥J♠
Both players flopped a flush draw without a pair but it was Taylor who had the distinct edge. However, the 9♥ on the turn gave Barbero the only pair and the 2♥ paired the board on the river.
"You got scammed, man," Barbero said after collecting the pot.
