Mascolo Crushes Barabas in Big Clash
Level 8
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Zoltan Barabas opened with a raise to 3,000 from under the gun. Giulio Mascolo called in middle position and action got folded to the big blind. The big blind moved all in for 36,000 and Barabas made the call after a minute of thought.
Back on Mascolo, the Brit spent nearly three minutes in the tank before shoving all in for 115,700 total. It was almost 80,000 more to call for Barabas, but the Hungarian called without hesitation to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
Giulio Mascolo: 
Zoltan Barabas: 
Big Blind: 
It was a dream scenario for Mascolo and his aces held up after the board ran out 
. The big blind was eliminated, while Barabas had to ship nearly two-thirds of his stack over to Mascolo.
