Farah Snaps Off Lybaert
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Elie Farah opened to 650,000 from middle position and Bart Lybaert defended from the big blind.
The flop came A?9?3?. Lybaert checked, Farah bet 550,000, Lybaert check-raised to 1,300,000 and Farah called.
Both players checked the A? turn leading to the 2? river. Lybaert moved all in, covering Farah who had 3,925,000 behind. Farah nearly beat Lybaert into the pot.
Lybaert could only show J?3?. Farah showed down K?K? for a bigger two pair to score a colossal double up.
