Farah Calls River Bluff for Huge Double
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was on the turn on a board of 8♦10♥2♦2♣ and Elie Farah led out for 15,000, which Artem Bocharov called.
The river was the 4♦ and Farah checked. Boacharov sensed an opportunity and pushed his stack into the middle, eyeing up what had become a bloated pot well worth fighting for.
Farah was left with a difficult call, but he wasn't ready to give up. He pushed his chips into the middle in a dramatic moment that resulted in Boacharov turning over J♥9♥ for a missed straight draw that he'd turned into a bluff.
Farah shouted out in triumph as he flipped over K♥10♦ for a pair of tens, two pair with the deuces on board, to win the pot and gain a huge double up late in the day.
