Farrell Dodges the River to Double
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Peter Jaksland bet 12,000 from middle position on a flop of 10♠7♠J♥ before Niall Farrell raised to 27,500 under the gun.
Jaksland called and the 10♥ fell on the turn. Farrell checked to Jaksland who then bet enough to put Farrell all in. Farrell called for 65,500.
Jaksland had A♥Q♥ for straight and flush draws, while Farrell showed K♠J♣ for two pair. The 2♠ fell on the river and Farrell held on to double up.
"A lot of shit going on on that board," Farrell said. "I didn't really want to do it this close to the money, but I couldn't min-cash and look myself in the mirror if I didn't play."
