Barakat Hits a Boat to Leave Alanaz on Fumes
Level 22
: Blinds 70,000/140,000, 140,000 ante
Youness Barakat raised the button to 490,000 and Bassel Alanaz defended from the big blind.
Alanaz checked on the 9♠J♣9♥ flop and Barakat continued for 325,000. Alanaz check-raised to 1,000,000, which Barakat called.
The A♠ fell on the turn, and Alanaz jammed, putting Barakat all in for his stack of 1,805,000. Barakat snap-called.
Youness Barakat: A♦K♣J♥9♣ 
Bassel Alanaz: K♦10♥9♦7♣
Barakat had flopped a boat and improved to an even bigger boat on the turn.
Alanaz was drawing dead with trips, and after the 2♥ fell to finish the board, Barakat doubled and Alanaz was down to half a million.
