Barakat Finally Gets the Better of Petersen
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Alexander Petersen raised to 125,000 in the cutoff and Youness Barakat called on the button.
Petersen continued for 100,000 on the 10♠10♦6♦ flop and Barakat called. The turn was the K♠ and Petersen bet another 375,000. Barakat again called.
Petersen slowed down and checked the Q♦ river, and Barakat announced pot. Petersen didn't even wait for the amount before folding.
"Finally got one through. My life is complete. Cash me out," Barakat said.
"I want to talk hands with you so much after the tournament, but for now I hate you," Barakat added.
