Barakat Spikes the River to Bust Eracleous
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Hassan Barakat moved all in for 705,000 under the gun and Marios Eracleous shoved in his last 565,000 from the hijack. Amir Saeid gave it some thought in the small blind before folding, leaving Barakat and Eracleous heads-up.
Marios Eracleous: A♦K♠ 
Hasssan Barakat: A♣8♠
Eracleous had Barakat dominated and was poised for a double up as the flop came 7♥5♥6♦. The turn was the 6♣, but the 4♦ fell on the river to give Barakat a straight and send Eracleous to the rail.
