"NoNeedMoney" Gets Back at Barakat

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After several limps, "NoNeedMoney" made it 24,000 to go in the big blind. Youness Barakat and Jeremy Trojand called to the 3♣7♦9♣ flop, where "NoNeedMoney" bet out for 50,000.

Barakat raised the pot, folding out Trojand, and "NoNeedMoney" quickly called all in for 141,500. "I hope I get even [with you]," "NoNeedMoney" told Barakat, who had recently taken a big pot from him.

"NoNeedMoney": 10♦10♣9♠8♣ All in
Youness Barakat: Q♠Q♥3♥3♦

"NoNeedMoney"'s flush came in on the A♣ turn, and the 4♣ river failed to pair the board, deciding the pot in Steinfeuer's favor.

Youness Barakat
Youness Barakat

In a pot of 84,000, Youness Barakat got his stack of 155,000 in against Filip Lovric on a 7♦J♠9♥ flop, and was at risk.

Youness Barakat: A♦K♠10♠9♣ All in
Filip Lovric: K♥K♣Q♥10♦

Lovric's kings remained the best hand as the J♣4♠ runout improved neither player.

Barakat bit the dust for the second time today, but was openly debating when the best time for a reentry would be, so he is sure to return.

Hossein Ensan: 9♣5♥5♦4♣ All in
Bharath Janardhan: J♣10♣8♥6♦

Janardhan's wrap had become a straight by the river, and Ensan gave the table a friendly tap before he headed on his way.

In the meantime, Youness Barakat and Tomasz Kozub had stopped by the reentry desk and were back playing in the PLO Grand Slam Championship.

Mads Amot raised to 17,000 in early position, and Imad Derwiche called in the neighboring seat. Tobias Hausen then tossed in 75,000 on the button, which only Derwiche called.

To Derwiche's surprise, the Q♣A♥3♠ flop were checked by both players.

"Why do you check? You have aces," Derwiche playfully stated as the J♥ arrived on the turn. He then moved all in for his last 65,000.

Hausen went deep into the tank, during which Derwiche put his opponent on pocket kings, telling them they were no good. After several time banks, Hausen flicked in some calling chips.

Imad Derwiche: QxXxXxXx All in
Tobias Hausen: K♥K♦8♥6♦

The 6♣ river did not improve Derwiche's hand, and he was sent to the rail as Hausen raked in the pot.
