Farrell Fades the Ace
Level 6
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Niall Farrell, last year's WPT Caribbean Main Event winner, opened to 30,000 with partypoker sponsored pro Jan-Peter Jachtmann putting in the three-bet to 75,000.
Action folded back to Farrell, who announced 182,000, while popping in two blue 100,000-value chips. In response, Jachtmann reached for his entire stack and slid it over the line, announcing a five-bet "all-in." Farrell called immediately and whipped over while Jachtmann tabled his .
"It's pretty hard for kings to win against ace queen," grumbled Farrell, as the dealer spread a flop. He managed to fade the ace on the turn and the river to double up right before the break.
