Gabrielle Barredo
Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action was picked up with Henry Pagliuca in late position all-in for 310,000 and at risk against Michael Starek in early position, who made the call, taking them to showdown.

Henry Pagliuca: K♣K♥ All in
Michael Starek: A♠4♠

Pagliuca was ahead on the 5♠7♦8♠ flop but it gave Starek more outs for a flush draw. It was looking grim for Pagliuca when the turn dropped 7♠ completing Starek's draw. The 5♦ river completed the board, sending Pagliuca to the payout counter.
