Barakat Goes Runner-Runner, Morris Pays Off
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Arthur Morris raised to 125,000 in the cutoff. Youness Barakat called on the button, and Lou Garza joined the pot from the big blind. Garza and Morris checked to Barakat on the 5♠4♦2♣ flop, and he bet 100,000.
Garza quickly folded, but Morris tossed in a call to the J♦ turn, where he check-called Barakat's bet of 325,000 as well.
The river fell the 3♦. Morris checked for a third time before Barakat pushed in 675,000 chips. After a small tank, Morris sighed and called.
Barakat tabled 10♦9♦ for a rivered flush. Morris frustratedly tabled A♦J♣ for a wheel, but his straight was no good as the big pot was awarded to Barakat.
