Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Youness Barakat
Youness Barakat

Pot-Limit Omaha

Youness Barakat potted to 8,500 in early position and was called by Chenxiang Miao in the hijack and Joao Simao in the big blind to create a pot of 29,000.

On the J75 flop, Simao led all-in for 28,000, Barakat potted to 113,000, Miao was all-in for 127,000, and Barakat called.

Joao Simao: KJ87 All in
Chenxiang Miao: AQ86 All in
Youness Barakat: AK107

Simao flopped top two pair, Miao had an open-ender, and Barakat paired his seven with overcards.

The A landed on the turn to put Barakat into the lead, and the 10 river confirmed that he held the winner, with aces and tens being good enough to knock out two opponents.
