Barakat's Day Ends Early

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Youness Barakat potted to 14,000 under the gun before Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi repotted to 48,000 on his left, and Barakat called.

On the Q63 flop, Barakat led for pot of 106,000, Ohulchanskyi raised, and Barakat's 147,000 stack was in the middle.

Youness Barakat: Q1098 All in
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: AKK8

Barakat flopped top pair with backdoors while Ohulchanskyi had the overpair without much backup. The J turn was a sweaty one, giving Barakat many straight outs, but the river was the 5, and he was eliminated.
