Barbero Puts Pentefountas in the Blender
Gustavo Barbero raised to 600 in early position and was met with a three-bet by Ioannis Pentefountas to 2,100 on the button. Barbero called, and the two players went to a flop.
Barbero checked-called a bet of 2,800 on the A♠8♣3♠ flop, before springing a trap on the 8♥ turn.
When checked to, Pentefountas continued with a bet of 5,500, but would soon find himself in the blender as Barbero check-raised to 13,000.
Pentefountas went deep into the tank. He took his glasses off, sat back in his chair, sat forward again, and tried to engage in some conversation. All to no avail, as he continued to be at a loss for what to do.
After another minute or so had passed, Pentefountas returned his cards to the dealer, still with a suspicious look on his face.
