Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Youness Barakat opened on the button to 21,000, and the big blind, Fabrizio Gonzalez, called.

The pair saw a 3♥3♦5♦ flop and Gonzalez check-called a bet of 17,000.

Gonzalez checked again on the 6♣ turn, and when Barakat bet 42,000, he called again.

The river 8♣ didn't slow Barakat down. When checked to for a third time, he bet 159,000.

This was enough to get Gonzalez to relinquish his cards.

Picking up the action on the 6♣2♣K♣ flop, with 290,000 chips in the middle. 90,000 of those chips were the maximum Eric Lindgren could win as he was all in. The other 200,000 chips were a side pot between Tsugunari Toma and Stephen Chidwick.

Toma, in the small blind, had been the final aggressor preflop and continuation-bet for 107,000. Chidwick called, and the players saw the 4♥ turn. Toma elected to check this time, and Chidwick took over the betting, placing a wager of 180,000. Toma didn't take too long before folding.

Stephen Chidwick: A♣Q♣
