Another Bullet for Barakat
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With the board reading J♠10♣9♣ and around 150,000 in the middle, Youness Barakat was all-in from the hijack for around 130,000, Ole Schemion was all-in for around 170,000 from the big blind, and they were up against Filip Aleksic, who covered both players from the button.
Youness Barakat: K♦Q♦9♠7♠
Ole Schemion: A♠Q♥10♠10♥
Filip Aleksic: Q♠Q♣4♥3♣
Barakat had the nut-straight, while Aleksic had outs to a flush and Schemion had outs to a boat. Schemion filled up on the J♦ turn, leaving Barakat drawing dead, and he remained ahead on the 4♣ river to take down the massive pot, while sending Barakat to the rail.
Barakat quickly reentered, mentioning that he was on his fourth bullet of the day as he took his new seat.
