Koon's Lucky Touch Earns Barbero a Double
Livello 21
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Nacho Barbero had just run over and touched Jason Koon for good luck at a different table, and immediately sat down to raise 950,000 under the gun. The action folded around to Alex Kulev in the big blind and he made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♠7♥5♠, and Kulev check-called Barbero's last 60,000.
Nacho Barbero: A♠Q♦
Alex Kulev: A♥J♥
Barbero's ace-high was slightly better than Kulev's and the board completed with the 5♥ on the turn and the 2♠ on the river.
"I instantly doubled up!" Barbero yelled to Koon, "I swear you are the most blessed guy alive. Legit."
