Farrell's Spidey Senses on Point

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

The action was picked up after there had already been an early position raise, before Niall Farrell three-bet to roughly 2,200 from middle position. After a few folds, Joni Rantamaki cold four-bet to 7,700 from the big blind. The initial raiser folded, but Farrell made the call.

The 573 flop saw Rantamaki choose to check-call a bet of 4,000 from Farrell.

Both players checked the Q turn for the 7 to fall on the river. Rantamaki, checked again, and after thinking for a while, Farrell checked behind.

Rantamaki, showed AA, which won him the pot because Farrell flipped up KxKx. Farrell avoided losing the majority of his stack with the second best starting hand in the game.
