Barakat Bests Gebara
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Georges Gebara opened to 5,500 from under the gun and found calls from Mousa Barakat in the cutoff and Navid Samavati in the small blind.
Samavati checked the J♦9♦J♣ flop, getting out of the way after Gebara continued and Barakat called. The K♦ turn saw Gebara fire again for 11,000, with Barakat calling to the 6♣ river.
Gebara checked to Barakat, who slid out a bet of 23,000. Gebara called to see the bad news, as Barakat tabled 6♦6♥ for a rivered full house.
Gebara frustratingly showed Q♦J♠ for trip jacks, as Barakat raked in an early pot.
