Barbero Shows a Three

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Nacho Barbero seems to enjoy his time in the Tag Team event, with a smile on his face. Barbero plays at Table 158 along with Kitty Kuo and Brian Altman. But it's the Argentinian who's at the helm at the table. He just added another chunk to his stack. He opened to 500 from an early position. Altman, directly to Barbero's left, flatted and so did his left-hand opponent.

The three players saw a flop {2-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and Barbero continued for 400. Altman wasted no time and folded, but a raise to 1,500 followed by the third player. Barbero quickly called, and then the {Q-Spades} appeared on the turn. Both players slowed down to let the dealer turn over the {6-Spades} river for free.

Barbero asked his opponent to move his hand so that he could see how much he had left. It was 2,600 and Barbero slid forward way more than that to put his opponent to the test, but it resulted in a fold. Barbero, in return, flashed {3-Spades} while releasing his other hole card face down.

Barbero is now up to 29,000 and admitted that his wingman Nick Yunis might take over soon.
