Vogelsang Grabs Lead By Three-Betting Barakat
Level 23
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Youness Barakat sat in the hijack and raised it up to 375,000. It folded to Tom Vogelsang in the big blind, who defended.
Vogelsang check-called Barakat's continuation-bet of 325,000 on the Q♦5♣K♥ flop before both players checked through the 7♦ turn.
The 9♠ then fell on the river, prompting Vogelsang to make a bet of 600,000. Barakat responded with a raise to 1,700,000, which Vogelsang clicked back to 3,500,000.
Barakat was seemingly caught with his hand in the cookie jar as he instantly mucked his cards and forfeited the pot. Vogelsang raked in the chips and ended up as the only player with an eight-figure stack.
