Barakat's Aces Cracked as he Hits the Rail
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Caleb Furth opened to 18,000 in the cutoff and Youness Barakat three-bet to 62,000 in the small blind. Furth called.
The dealer spread a flop of K♦10♦3♥ and Barakat paused momentarily as he leaned back in his seat. After a few seconds, he pushed his stack of roughly 100,000 all in and Furth snap-called.
Youness Barakat: A♣A♠J♦10♠
Caleb Furth: K♥10♥10♣9♦
Barakat's aces were cracked on the flop as Furth flopped a set of tens and the 4♠ turn and 8♥ river were no help, eliminating him from the tournament.
