Level 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Vitalijs Korhs raised to 175,000 in the cutoff and Amir Mozaffarian reraised to 550,000 in the big blind. Korhs came back and potted to 1,730,000, leaving himself 100,000 behind.

Mozaffarian went deep into the tank, burning through multiple time banks as he considered the decision. He eventually decided to fold. "That was a tough one," he said.

"Amir, you just lost your virginity. He's a good guy to lose it to," Youness Barakat added.

A few hands later, Leonid Yanovski limped in from the hijack and Barakat raised to 360,000 in the cutoff. Yanovski called and the flop came K♠J♠10♣.

Barakat then bet 325,000 and Yanovski called. Both players then checked the 7♣ turn.

The river was the 2♣ and Barakat bet 1,100,000. Yanovski used two time banks while Barakat covered his face with the collar of his shirt and closed his eyes.

Yanovski eventually folded as Barakat, still with his eyes closed, secured the pot. "Fold," Hossein Ensan yelled at him to inform him that he had won.

Vitalijs Korhs raised to 175,000 in the cutoff and Youness Barakat reraised to 605,000 in the small blind. Korhs called and the flop came A♣4♣2♠.

Barakat then potted to 1,400,000 and Korhs quickly folded.

The next hand, Korhs again opened to 175,000 and Barakat called on the button. Gergo Nagy moved all in for 520,000 in the big blind, Korhs reraised, and Barakat got out of the way.

Gergo Nagy: 10♣9♣8♥5♥ All in
Vitalijs Korhs: A♠A♣6♣4♦

"I can crack that," Nagy said as Korhs showed down aces. His words proved prophetic, as the board ran out K♠4♠10♦8♠8♦ to give him a full house and the double up.

"That's how I win tournaments," Nagy said.

At the other table, Aki Vihikainen had raised to 200,000 in the hijack and Tomasz Krzesinki reraised to 625,000 on the button. Vihikainen then moved all in and Krzesinski called for 325,000 more.

Level 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alexander Petersen raised to 175,000 in early position and Leonid Yanovski called on the button. Youness Barakat then reraised to 780,000 in the small blind and only Petersen called.

Barakat moved all in for 1,200,000 on the 8♦6♥3♦ flop and Petersen, shielding his eyes from seeing the flop, stood up and began looking at the cards on the board one by one. "I should play something more connected," he said, but he evidently ended up liking what he saw since he quickly called once he got to the end.

Youness Barakat: A♣A♠Q♠J♥ All in
Alexander Petersen: 7♥6♠5♣4♠

"I have a wrap," Petersen said, showing straight draws against Barakat's aces. "No way I miss this," he added.

The A♦ turn improved Barakat to a set, while the river was the Q♥ and Barakat doubled up.

Level 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alexander Petersen raised to 135,000 on the button and Hossein Ensan and Vitalijs Korhs came along from the blinds.

"Bring on the Germans," Petersen said as the flop came 4♥4♣3♦. He then continued for 225,000 and only Ensan called.

Both players checked the 7♥ turn and the 9♠ fell on the river. Ensan then led out for 715,000 and Petersen snap-folded.

After the hand, a tournament official came over and joked that there was still 15 minutes to late register the mystery bounty event if they busted right now. Youness Barakat then pretended to put his entire stack in the middle.

"What's the point? I'm tired of this. I've been losing every hand for three hours," Barakat joked.
