Barbosa Draws Even With Lavallee

[user66118]
[user66118]
Jason Lavallee open-raised to 1,400, and Joao Barbosa three-bet to 3,600. Lavallee then made it 10,000 straight, and Barbosa moved all in for more than 20,000. With a quick call, the cards were on their backs, and Barbosa was looking for a double up to survive.

Showdown
Lavallee: {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Barbosa: {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}

The board ran out safe for Barbosa and his pair: {J-Spades} {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}. That's good enough to double him up to about 50,000, dropping Lavallee down to about the same.
