Barakat Drills the River to Bust Gryko

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Youness Barakat, Richard Gryko, and Jonathan Azoulay went to a flop of J86 when Barakat potted to 102,000 from the big blind. Gryko then moved all in for 150,000 from under the gun and Azoulay folded, while Barakat called.

Richard Gryko: KQQ7 All in
Youness Barakat: QJ1010

Gryko had the lead with his queens, while Barakat had top pair. The 6 turn was no help to Barakat and Gryko was poised for a double-up, but the river brought the 10 to give Barakat a set and Gryko was sent to the rail.
