"Running Bad"
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On a board of J♣A♠A♥J♥3♣, Farrell bet 20,000 from the cutoff on the flop and Maria Lampropulos called from the big blind, then both players checked on the turn and the river. Lampropulos showed K♥8♥ for a simple king-high, while Farrell had Q♣Q♠.
On the next hand, Farrell opened from the hijack, but everybody folded, so he won the blinds and flipped over K♣10♣.
He raised again from middle position one hand later, and Cesar Garcia defended from the big blind. But after Farrell bet on the 3♥Q♥10♣ flop, Garcia quickly check-folded. Probably for the best, as Farrell showed A♠A♦.
Farrell finally folded preflop on the next hand. "Running bad" he laughed in front of his 1,900,000 chips.
