Farah Calls River Bluff for Huge Double
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was on the turn on a board of 8?10?2?2? and Elie Farah led out for 15,000, which Artem Bocharov called.
The river was the 4? and Farah checked. Boacharov sensed an opportunity and pushed his stack into the middle, eyeing up what had become a bloated pot well worth fighting for.
Farah was left with a difficult call, but he wasn't ready to give up. He pushed his chips into the middle in a dramatic moment that resulted in Boacharov turning over J?9? for a missed straight draw that he'd turned into a bluff.
Farah shouted out in triumph as he flipped over K?10? for a pair of tens, two pair with the deuces on board, to win the pot and gain a huge double up late in the day.
