Barakat Bets Out Petersen on the River
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alexander Petersen raised to 85,000 in middle position and picked up three callers, including Youness Barakat in the cutoff and Aku Joentausta and Dominykas Karmazinas in the blinds.
Action checked to Barakat on the A♣Q♣5♦ flop and he bet 175,000. Only Petersen called.
Both players checked the 4♦ turn before Barakat bet 550,000 on the Q♠ river. "You could be bluffing and still have better. I would call in a cash game," Petersen said, flashing the 5♠ as he mucked.
"What a bad river," Petersen added.
