Barka Rivers a Set to Crack Aces

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After doubling Alexander Rhys-Davies, Samy Barka in the big blind ended up moving all-in for 36,100 against Ben Devers on the button.

Samy Barka: 9♠9♦ All in
Ben Devers: A♠A♦

Barka ran into pocket aces and asked for a queen on 5♠J♥10♣. The 5♥ wasn't what he was looking for, but the 9♣ river brought an even better surprise than he could have hoped for, allowing him to double up.
