Farah Falls Two Spots from the Money
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Elie Farah opened from middle position, Zhen Chen three-bet from the hijack and Farah called creating a pot of roughly 175,000 going into the flop.
the flop came 2♥J♥J♦. Farah checked, Chen bet 50,000 and Farah check-raised to 135,000. Farah made the call.
Farah continued for 150,000 on the 9♥ turn and was called by Chen.
On the Q♣ river Farah checked and Chen shoved, covering Farah who had around 400,000 behind. Farah, clearly put on a difficult decision, put his hands over his head and briefly went into the tank.
After a couple minutes Farah stuck in the call. Chen had the nut-flush with A♥Q♥ and dragged in a massive pot while Farah was sent to the rail two spots shy of making the money.
