Riebau-Schmithals Snaps Off Barakat
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Youness Barakat put in a reraise of 73,000 from the small blind and both Vivian Saliba under the gun and Fabian Riebau-Schmithals in middle position called.
The flop came Q♥J♦2♥ and Barakat moved all in for 40,000. Saliba folded, but Riebau-Schmithals snap-called.
Youness Barakat: J♠10♠9♦8♥
Fabian Riebau-Schmithals: A♠K♥J♥10♥
Both players showed a pair of jacks and straight draw, while Riebau-Schmithals was ahead with his ace-kicker. The turn was the 5♣, while the 10♦ fell on the river to send Barakat to the rail.
Farid Jattin was recently eliminated at another table while Hans Thumann has increased his stack to 2,500,000.
