Winter Doubles via Barakat
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Zhikang Dai opened to 4,000 in the cutoff and received a call from Youness Barakat on the button. Sean Winter then pumped it up to 16,600 in the big blind. Dai quickly got out of the way, but Barakat called after some thought. As he did so, Winter asked, "King-ten-five-five?" Barakat just smiled in response.
On the A?K?7? flop, Winter moved all in for his last 7,000 and Barakat called.
Sean Winter: A?A?K?J? 
Youness Barakat: J?10?7?5?
Winter had top set aces and was in great shape versus Barakat's gutshot. The 6? turn and 6? river were improved Winter to aces-full, earning him the pot.
