Youness Barakat Eliminated in 3rd Place ($483,000)
"How much you have?" Justin Steinbrenner asked Youness Barakat after his double up.
"I have more than before because of Nino," Barakat joked.
Steinbrenner then opened to 700,000 on the button, Barakat reraised to 2,300,000 in the small blind, and Steinbrenner called.
The flop came 6♦4♥3♥ and Barakat moved all in for 4,850,000. Steinbrenner called to put him at risk.
Youness Barakat: A♥A♦K♦6♠ 
Justin Steinbrenner: 9♦9♣8♥6♥
Barakat was ahead with his aces as he got up from his seat, gathered up his things, and went to shake the hands of both Pansier and Steinbrenner.
Barakat wrapped his arms tightly around Pansier as the 3♣ fell on the turn to leave him a card away from a massive double up, but Steinbrenner spiked a flush on the J♥ river to win the pot and send Barakat to the rail in third place.
