Barakat Gets Rivered

Level 11 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Lou Garza potted from the cutoff, and Richard Kirsch made the call from the button. Youness Barakat then shoved from the small blind, Garza went over the top, and Kirsch folded.

Youness Barakat: AKJ9 All in
Lou Garza: AK106

Barakat saw a great flop, hitting kings and nines on 9K3. The 3 turn had him one card away from a double, but the 10 river improved Garza to a better two pair, ending Barakat's tournament early.
