Farrell Doubles Up
Level 6
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Following an initial open raise and a subsequent three-bet to 45,000 by another player, Niall Farrell decided to go all in with his remaining 89,000. His opponent called and both players revealed their hands: Farrell held A♣K♦, while his opponent showed A♦J♠. Despite being in a favorable position, Farrell stood up and remarked, "Was nice meeting you guys," anticipating a loss.
The flop unveiled 9♦7♠5♠. "More spade," Farrell exclaimed, as his opponent held a spade.
Fortunately for Farrell, the turn and river cards, 5♥K♠, played out in his favor, resulting in a double-up.
Reflecting on his earlier pessimism, Farrell explained, "From 2015 to 2017 I won all all-ins, now I am paying for it."
