Barakat Right back in the Mix With a Double
Level 24
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Youness Barakat called on the button and Nino Pansier completed from the small blind. Justin Steinbrenner checked from the big blind and the dealer spread out the A♥5♣10♥ flop.
After two checks, Barakat bet 300,000, and was met by a check-raise to 1,700,000 from Pansier. Steinbrenner folded, but Barakat shoved for 3,675,000. Pansier called with the first chance to send the tournament to heads-up.
Youness Barakat: K♥10♦10♣4♣ 
Nino Pansier: A♣10♠5♥2♣
Barakat was ahead with middle set against the top two pair of Pansier.
Barakat improved to a boat after the K♦ turn and K♠ river completed the board, and he doubled up to over eight million.
