Barbieri Delivers Another Body Blow to Awad

[user66118]

Hold'em

Hani Awad limped into the pot from the hijack seat, and Konstantin Puchkov called in the small blind. Al Barbieri raised from the big blind, and both opponents called the extra 12,000 to see a flop.

It came {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {8-Spades} , and Puchkov check-folded. Barbieri bet, Awad raised, and Barbieri made it three bets to go. Awad called.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and a pair on board, and Barbieri fired right back out into the pot. Undeterred, Awad raised, and Barbieri reraised it right back. Another call from Awad.

Barbieri got one more bet in on the {A-Spades} river, and he turned up {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs} for eights full. It was good; Awad flashed {Q-} {10-} as he sent his useless trips into the muck.
