Action folded to Farid Jattin in the small blind, who put in a raise to 120,000. The big blind, Youness Barakat, made the call, and the two players went to a flop.
The dealer revealed a 10♣9♣6♥ flop, and Jattin continued for 175,000, which Barakat called.
Both players checked the 3♥ turn, and the 2♣ river was dealt.
Jattin decided to restart his aggression, putting out a bet of 215,000. Barakat made the call, and when Jattin showed Q♦J♥8♣6♦ for just a pair of sixes, Barakat tabled the superior Q♣10♦9♠3♦, for top two pair.
