Herbie Montalbano open-shoved all in for 18,000 from under the gun. Chris Barrile flat-called from the cutoff. Anthony Smith peeked at his cards and then announced that he was all in from the small blind for 155,000. Barrile beat him into the pot with a call.

Barrile: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}
Smith: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Montalbano: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Barrile was in a great position to win a huge pot if he could stay ahead in the hand.

The flop came down {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} and so far so good for Barrile. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and then the river the {9-Hearts}.

Barrile moved up to 390,000 after a whopper of a pot and eliminated both Montalbano and Smith.
