Barakat Drills the River to Bust Gryko

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Youness Barakat, Richard Gryko, and Jonathan Azoulay went to a flop of J♥8♣6♠ when Barakat potted to 102,000 from the big blind. Gryko then moved all in for 150,000 from under the gun and Azoulay folded, while Barakat called.

Richard Gryko: K♠Q♣Q♦7♠ All in
Youness Barakat: Q♠J♦10♣10♦

Gryko had the lead with his queens, while Barakat had top pair. The 6♣ turn was no help to Barakat and Gryko was poised for a double-up, but the river brought the 10♥ to give Barakat a set and Gryko was sent to the rail.
