Steinbrenner Folds to Barakat; Hand-For-Hand Begins
Level 22
: Blinds 70,000/140,000, 140,000 ante
Justin Steinbrenner raised to 420,000 in the small blind and Youness Barakat called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 9♥9♠8♥ flop. Steinbrenner then bet 600,000 on the 5♣ turn, and Barakat called.
Steinbrenner checked to Barakat on the A♠ river, and Barakat bet 1,250,000.
While Steinbrenner was considering the decision, action was stopped at the other table and the players gathered around this table. "Go to sleep," Bassel Alanaz told them.
"Like vultures," Tomasz Brzesinzki added. Steinbrenner eventually folded, and Barakat took the pot.
After the hand, tournament officials decided to begin hand-for-hand play until there is one more elimination.
