Petersen Bluffs the Table, Barakat Can't Bluff Him
More than 1,000,000 was already in the pot as Youness Barakat and Alexander Petersen went to the river on a completed board of A♠4♦9♣10♦Q♦.
Barakat then moved all in from the small blind, having Petersen's remaining 700,000 covered. "Why do I hit the flush? How are you bluffing?" Petersen said as he tanked for a few minutes.
"If I fold and you show a bluff, I won't be able to sleep tonight and it will be way more expensive," Petersen added. He eventually put in the rest of his chips.
"You win," Barakat said, showing A♦K♥9♠8♥ for two pair. Petersen didn't have a flush, but he did show J♣10♥8♣4♣ for a straight to win the pot and double up.
"This crazy guy from Denmark. We all believed he had the flush," Dominykas Karmazinas said.
"If I win, going out tonight is on me," Petersen told him.
"You can't afford to go out with me," Karmazinas added.
