"What an Idiot I Am"; Barbero Rues His Fold as Wirjo Takes Out Funkhouser

Level 9

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jonathan Wirjo, Nacho Barbero, and David Funkhouser saw a flop of A74 where Wirjo moved all in from the cutoff, having his two opponents well covered.

Funkhouser quickly called for 7,500 on the button as action went on Barbero in the big blind. He tanked for several minutes but eventually threw his cards into the muck.

David Funkhouser: KJ76 All in
Jonathan Wirjo: AK75

Wirjo was ahead with top two pair, while Funkhouser had a pair and flush draw. The turn was the 6, while the 10 fell on the river to send Funkhouser to the rail.

Barbero leaned back in his seat with his arms on his head as the pot was pushed to Wirjo. "Wow, what an idiot I am," he lamented.

Avivi Dealt the Goods to Bust Kluska

Level 9

5-Card Draw

Jason Kluska moved all in for 20,000 from the button and Tal Avivi put him at risk in the small blind.

Avivi stood pat and turned over AAAK5 for trips. Kluska had 101066 and needed to fill up to survive as he drew one.

Kluska slowly peeled his last card. "Nope. It was a pleasure playing with you guys," he said as he tossed it into the muck.

"He tortured me all day," Kluska added on his way to the exit.

Wheely Good Draw for Andrzejewski

Level 8

2-7 Triple Draw

Andreas Hole raised from the hijack before Pawel Andrzejewski three-bet all-in from the cutoff and Hole called.

Hole took one and Andrzejewski took two.

Both players stayed pat the rest of the way.

Pawel Andrzejewski: 7x5x4x3x2x All in
Andreas Hole: 7x6x5x4x2x

Hole made number four but it was no match for the wheel of Andrzejewski who was unfortunate to be so short in a cooler hand.
