Barakat Takes From Cowen

Maxime Taldir
Maxime Taldir
Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Youness Barakat in the hijack with J♠9♥7♦3♦ raised to 110,000. Robert Cowen in the cutoff three-bet to 180,000 with A♥K♣Q♠2♥ and Barakat called.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♠5♣3♠ which was checked by both players. They both checked the 8♥ turn as well but Barakat potted to 460,000 on the 9♦ river. It only took a few seconds for Cowen to fold.
