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 Q♦6♠3♣ flop, Barakat led for pot of 106,000, Ohulchanskyi raised, and Barakat's 147,000 stack was in the middle.

Youness Barakat: Q♣10♣9♠8♦ All in
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: A♥K♥K♦8♠

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.
