Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A few hands after he entered the tournament, Hassan Nashar found himself in the big blind after Timothy Adams opened to 4,500 from the button and was called by Nacho Barbero in the small blind.
Nashar opted for a three-bet of 17,000. Adams folded, but Barbero made the call to see a 6♦4♥2♠ flop that he checked. Nashar decided to go all in for 66,500 chips and Barbero eventually called.
Hassan Nashar: A♠K♣
Nacho Barbero: 3♥3♠
Initially, Barbero was in the lead with his pocket treys, but the 6♠ on the turn and the 4♦ on the river completed two bigger pair on the board. With Nashar having the best kicker, he claimed the pot and doubled up.
