Barbero Celebrates a Scoop
Level 14
: Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Having defended out of the blinds against a raise by Nacho Barbero, Christopher Stephan and Robert Yass check-called bets on the K?Q?7? flop and 8? turn. They both checked the 3? on the river and Barbero bet again.
Only Stephen called while Yass folded and Barbero jumped out of his chair in excitement. "Finally I scoop a pot after getting scooped all day!" he exclaimed as he exposed his A?Q?Q?4? for a set of queens and second nut low.
"What if he shows you ace-deuce?" another player remarked and Barbero instantly replied: "I bet you a million dollars he doesn't have ace-deuce." That bet was not verbally accepted but Barbero's read was right, as Stephan tossed the cards into the muck.
