Al-Barwani Doubles Through Lie
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aylar Lie raised to 12,000 from early position with only Ghassan Al-Barwani defending out of the big blind.
The dealer fanned out a flop of J♣10♥3♥ and Al-Barwani check-called a bet of 8,000 from Lie.
Al-Barwani checked again on the 9♠ turn and Lie shoved for Al-Barwani's remaining 65,000. Al-Barwani snap-called.
Ghassan Al-Barwani: Q♥9♥ 
Aylar Lie: 8♣8♠
Al-Barwani had turned the best hand with a pair of nines and just had to fade a few of Lie's outs on the river. The 7♥ fell to give Lie a straight, but Al-Barwani also improved to a flush and he earned the double-up
