Farah Falls Two Spots from the Money
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Elie Farah opened from middle position, Zhen Chen three-bet from the hijack and Farah called creating a pot of roughly 175,000 going into the flop.
the flop came 2?J?J?. Farah checked, Chen bet 50,000 and Farah check-raised to 135,000. Farah made the call.
Farah continued for 150,000 on the 9? turn and was called by Chen.
On the Q? river Farah checked and Chen shoved, covering Farah who had around 400,000 behind. Farah, clearly put on a difficult decision, put his hands over his head and briefly went into the tank.
After a couple minutes Farah stuck in the call. Chen had the nut-flush with A?Q? and dragged in a massive pot while Farah was sent to the rail two spots shy of making the money.
