Level 22 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

"Yep," Barakat exclaimed as he raised his small blind to 360,000, leaving only 130,000 back. Big blind Ka Kwan Lau then put the rest in from the big blind, and Barakat quickly called.

Youness Barakat: A♥9♥6♣5♣ All in
Ka Kwan Lau: A♦6♠5♠3♠

"Of course," Barakat muttered as the 5♦2♠7♠ flop paired both players and gave Lau a flush draw. The Q♥ turn did not change anything, but the A♠ river made Lau his flush.

Barakat said his goodbyes to the table before he left to pick up his 11th-place payout. The ten remaining players continued on the bubble of the unofficial final table of nine.
