Barakat Doesn't Show

Ryan Gray

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On the same day his father, Robert "The Razzman" Massman, finished 11th in the $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Event, Alex Massman won a satellite to play in the Main Event. Now here he was on Day 2, riding a starting stack and tangled up in a hand with Youness Barakat.

Barakat bet 1,500 from late position on a K♠K♦2♠ flop, and Massman and an early position player called.

When the turn came 5♣, Barakat bumped it up to 12,400, too rich for either and took down the pot.

"You have to tell them (PokerNews) what you had," Massman told Barakat. "It's the rules." But Barakat did not oblige.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with the board reading 8♥3♦Q♣ and players heads up. A player in the big blind checked and Brian Yoon bet 1,700 from middle position, receiving a call from his opponent.

The big blind check-called another bet from Yoon on the K♦ turn, this time for 6,500.

The river was the K♥. Yoon fired a third barrel for 17,500, leaving approximately 15,000 behind. After about a minute his opponent mucked his cards and a sizable pot was sent in Yoon's direction.
