Button player Patrick Barba and the big blind call a 5000 raise by hijack and the flop comes . Hijack continues for 5500, only Barba calls, then calls again on the turn for a much larger 35,000. On the river , hijack shoves 74,000, Barba tanks for some time then makes the call. It’s the right choice with hijack flipping open that’s behind Barba’s top pair. 

Patrick Barba – 272,000 (136 bb)
