Youness Barakat Eliminated in 8th Place ($130,896)
Level 26
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
With John Pannucci absent in the big blind, Ben Lamb made it 375,000 to go in the hijack. Youness Barakat then moved all in for 850,000 in the cutoff, and Lamb called after he had counted the chips.
Youness Barakat: Q♦Q♣8♣7♥
Ben Lamb: A♥10♥9♣2♦
"That is very high in respect to the number of aces," Barakat observed as the A♠J♦A♦ flop gave Lamb trips for a big lead. Neither the 3♣ turn nor the 6♣ river improved Barakat's queens, sending him to the rail in eighth place.
