Barakat's Bluff Works This Time
Level 24
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Youness Barakat limped in from the button with J♠6♥5♠5♦ and Justin Steinbrenner checked.
Both players checked the A♥A♣A♠ flop. Barakat then bet 400,000 on the K♣ turn, and Steinbrenner called.
The river was the 2♥ and Barakat bet another 850,000. Steinbrenner folded Q♦8♦8♣5♣ this time.
"Sometimes nuts. Sometimes it's...nuts," Barakat said.
