Barbero Scores Big Double
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Nacho Barbero opened to 85,000 in the cutoff, and Renji Mao replied by three-betting the pot on the button. Action folded back around to Barbero, who four-bet the pot again to 905,000. Mao moved all in, and Barbero quickly called.
Nacho Barbero: A♠A♦9♠6♠ 
Renji Mao: A♣A♥6♠2♥
Neither player was surprised to see all four aces turned over, and the K♥9♦K♠ flop left Barbero with a better draw. The 5♠ turn also brought Barbero a flush draw, which was completed on the 8♠ river.
Barbero scored the big double-up, while Mao was left with crumbs.
