Niveau 33
: 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Nacho Barbero limped from the button and Fabiano Kovalski moved all in out of the big blind. Barbero snap-called to put Kovalski at risk.
Fabiano Kovalski: 
Nacho Barbero: 
Barbero had his opponent dominated and, if he could hold, would secure victory and his first WSOP gold bracelet. The 
flop kept him ahead as did the 
turn. The 
river saw Barbero let out a yell and run over to his rail to celebrate. Kovalski, meanwhile, came into the day as the short stack and was able to spin that up to a second place finish, an impressive accomplishment.
