Farrell Gets a Bad Runout
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A player in middle position raised to 13,000 before Niall Farrell three-bet to 55,000 from the big blind. His opponent called and they went heads-up to a 2?9?7? flop.
Farrell continued for 60,000 and his opponent tanked for a few minutes before calling. The turn came the J? and Farrell checked.
His opponent quickly checked back and the K? fell on the river. The action was again checked through and Farrell turned over Q?Q? to win the pot.
"Bad runout for queens," a tablemate told him.
"I was like, I can beat jacks, then a jack. Well, I can beat ace-king, then a king," Farrell replied.
