Barkatul Grateful for Aces
UK circuit regular Mohammed Barkatul opened for 11,500 under the gun - and must have been delighted when he found himself faced with a reraise to 26,000 from Jamie Brown in mid position and a cold four-bet to 64,000 from the young gentleman in the hijack. Barkatul shoved for an additional 64,200 and a sheepish Brown folded (accompanied by a, "Ha!" from Joe Hachem across the table). The gent in the hijack did not look like he wanted to call, but kind of had to, so did the decent thing.

Barkatul repeatedly thanked the dealer as he stacked up his new 290,000 stack.
