Zaskodny Turns an Ace to Crack Barbero's Queens
Niveau 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
A player had opened before Nacho Barbero three-bet to 80,000 from early position. Lukas Zaskodny then shoved for 460,000 on the button, which only Barbero called.
Lukas Zaskodny: A♥K♣ 
Nacho Barbero: Q♥Q♦
It was a fair fight but the advantage remained with Barbero after the dealer put a flop of J♥2♣9♠ onto the felt. That advantage quickly moved in Zaskodny's favor as the A♣ turn improved him to top pair, which left Barbero with just two outs. No help arrived on the 7♥ river which meant Zaskodny doubled up.
