Neck and Neck Down the Stretch

Nacho Barbero opened to 230,000 from the button, and Nicolas Cardyn moved all in for 1,520,000. Barbero thought it over for about a minute or so before making the call with a chance to end the tournament right here. Cards up, gents:

Barbero: {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
Cardyn: {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades}

Cardyn was at risk but ahead, and the dealer would do her part to ensure his survival. She ran out a board of {6-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {K-Spades} {9-Spades} {4-Clubs}, and that secures a big double up for Cardyn.

Check out these chip counts after that hand:
Cardyn - 3.04 million
Barbero - 3.1 million
