Barbero Scores Double Up

Livello 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 0 ante

In a heads-up pot with close to 25,000 in the middle on a flop showing J♥8♠5♣, Gregory Pinsonneault checked from under the gun to Nacho Barbero in the hijack who bet, which Pinsonneault called.

The K♦ rolled off and Pinsonneault checked again to Barbero who bet. Pinsonneault raised to put Barbero all in who made the call for his last 6,000.

Nacho Barbero: A♣K♠
Gregory Pinsonneault: 7♠7♥

Barbero found the turned king to be well in the lead and when the river fell the 5♥ Barbero scored the double up.

Livello 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 0 ante

Dan Zack opened from under the gun and it folded to Shaun Deeb in the small blind who put in a three-bet, which only Zack called.

The flop fanned out 10♣3♠2♣ and Deeb continued with a bet. Zack tossed out a raise and Deeb completed. On the Q♦ turn and again on the 4♦ river both players checked to a showdown.

Deeb announced "ace high" and rolled over A♥9♣, which was enough to take the pot when Zack mucked his hand.

Livello 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 0 ante

Ronnie Bardah opened the action on the button and David Lieberman made the call in the big blind.

On the flop of K♣8♠6♥, Lieberman checked to Bardah who bet. Lieberman raised and Bardah came along to the 6♦ turn.

Lieberman bet out and Bardah went in the tank. "Want to see it?" said Lieberman as Bardah contemplated his options.

"Okay, lets see the bluff," replied Bardah before eventually making the fold.

Lieberman rolled over K♦J♣ to show he flopped top pair.

"I don't bluff in this game," said Lieberman as he collected the pot.

Livello 10 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 0 ante

Mori Eskandani opened from early position and Nick Pupillo put in the three-bet next to act. It folded to Shaun Deeb on the button who four-bet and only Pupillo called.

The flop came A♥3♣3♦ and Pupillo checked to Deeb who continued with a bet, which Pupillo called. On the K♦ turn Pupillo check-called another bet from Deeb.

The J♥ completed the board and both players checked to a showdown. Pupillo rolled over A♦10♥ for top pair and took down the pot when Deeb mucked.

Shimizu Continues to Climb

Livello 10 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 0 ante

Nozomu Shimizu raised from the cutoff and action folded to Mori Eskandani in the small blind, who made it three bets to go. It was folded back around to Shimizu, who called.

Shimizu called a bet from Eskandani on the A♣8♣8♠ flop and both players checked on the 5♥ turn.

Eskandani checked once more when the 5♣ completed and double-paired the board. Shimizu bet, Eskandani called, and Shimizu showed him A♥5♦ for fives-full of aces.

Eskandani couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Shimizu.
