Barbosavvy


Joao Barbosa, successful tournament player, EPT Champion and perma-casher, doesn't look like he's feeling even an extra milibar of pressure, despite being one of the shortish stacks.

Just now, he moved all-in on the river over the top of a 5,500 bet out from opponent Martin Emanuelsson. Emanuelsson went into a forehead-crinkling tank, looking at the 5-T-9-7-J board (the river Jack had also brought a third diamond). "Have you got a flush?" he asked Barbosa, but mainly himself...

Finally he passed and the pot went to Barbosa. "Show me a bluff!" he said.

"I didn't have a bluff, I had a hand," replied Barbosa, showing him A♠ 9♠.
