Barka Doubles Through Sarkis
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Wael Sarkis opened to 160,000 and called a 425,000 three-bet from Samy Barka.
The flop came K♣9♠8♦. Sarkis checked, Barka bet 325,000 and Sarkis check-raised to 800,000. Barka moved all in for roughly 2,400,000 and Ercan snap-called with a covering stack.
Wael Sarkis: A♠A♦
Mustafa Ercan: K♥8♥
Sarkis was ahead with two pair but Barka took the lead with aces up on the 9♣ turn. He improved to a full house on the A♥ river for good measure and scored a full double up at the expense of Sarkis.
