There Will Be No Repeat

Season 3 LAPT Punta del Este Champion and Team PokerStars Pro Jose "Nacho" Barbero has been eliminated.

After seeing one opponent limp and another raise to 1,500, Barbero shoved for 5,500 from the small blind. The limper re-raised, successfully isolating the pot, and showed {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} . Barbero was racing with {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} . However, it was all but over when the flop came down {J-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades} . The {8-Hearts} turn and {7-Spades} river completed the board, officially ending Barbero's title defense.
