Level 27

Kanaan Youkhanna opened to 200,000 on the button and Patrick Barba raised to 1,000,000 from the big blind. Youkhanna called and the flop came Q♣9♠2♥
Barba committed his last 100,000 chips to the flop and the cards were turned over.
Patrick Barba: Q♥4♥
Kanaan Youkhanna: Q♠9♣
Barba needed to hit to stay alive, having flopped a backdoor flush draw, but Youkhanna also flopped two pair.
The 10♥ turn brought Barba one step closer and he was saved from elimination on the K♥ river, climbing back up in the counts.
