Chivukula Hits the River to Double

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

Venkat Chivukula on the button limped and called after Youness Barakat in the small blind raised to 160,000.

Barakat continued for 400,000 on the 7102 and was called, then fired a second barrel on the 9 turn. Chivukula, whose remaining 305,000 chips were covered by Barakat’s bet, spent more than two minutes in the tank before eventually making the call.

Venkat Chivukula: QJ103 All in
Youness Barakat: QQ87

The 5 river gave Chivukula a flush, allowing him to win the coin flip and double up.
