Barakat Spikes the River to Bust Guerra
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Lautaro Guerra bet 230,000 from middle position on a flop of 10♣8♣4♦, Youness Barakat moved all in from the button, and Guerra called for 500,000 more.
Lautaro Guerra: A♣A♥6♣5♥
Youness Barakat: 9♦8♠7♠6♠
Guerra was ahead with aces, while Barakat had a pair and straight draw. The turn was the Q♥, but Barakat spiked trips on the 8♦ river to crack Guerra's aces and send him to the rail.
"Alex, I don't like folding either," Barakat told tablemate Alexander Petersen after the hand.
"That's okay, more chips for Alex," Dominykas Karmazinas added.
