Barbosa Navigates Three-Bet Pot
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
A player in middle position opened to 50,000 and Jose Barbosa three-bet to 150,000 from late position. Action folded to the big blind, who thought for some time before deciding on a call. The initial raiser got out of the way to send the two remaining players heads-up to the flop.
Both players checked through the 
flop to see the 
turn. The big blind checked for a second time and Barbosa fired off a delayed continuation of 140,000. His opponent made the call.
Action went check-check on the 
river and the big blind turned over 
. It was no good, however, as Barbosa held 
to scoop the pot.
