Mascolo Crushes Barabas in Big Clash

Zoltan Barabas opened with a raise to 3,000 from under the gun. Giulio Mascolo called in middle position and action got folded to the big blind. The big blind moved all in for 36,000 and Barabas made the call after a minute of thought.

Back on Mascolo, the Brit spent nearly three minutes in the tank before shoving all in for 115,700 total. It was almost 80,000 more to call for Barabas, but the Hungarian called without hesitation to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
