Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Five players went to a flop of 5♦8♥4♥ where Youness Barakat bet 18,500 from the hijack. Christopher Demaci then reraised to 92,500 in the big blind, and Biao Ding shoved for 125,000 under the gun. Barakat called, and Demaci also called all in for less.

Christopher Demaci: A♥K♦3♦2♥ All in
Biao Ding: Q♣8♣7♣6♦ All in
Youness Barakat: 8♠6♠6♥5♥

Barakat was ahead with two pair, but the K♥ turn improved Demaci to a flush. The river, though, brought the last 8♦ to give Barakat a full house and the double knockout.

"He hasn't lost a hand," another tablemate said.

"Ship it. Ship it quickly," Barakat told the dealer as he was pushed the big pot to move his stack up past 1,000,000.
