Marcus Farthing Wins This Week's The High Roller Big Game

Marcus Farthing raised to 4,000,000 from the button for Jens Lakemeier to make the call.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} for Lakemeier to check. Farthing took some time and continued with a bet of 6,187,500. Lakemeier tanked for a bit and then shoved for 30,486,208 for Farthing to call with the bigger stack after he had taken the chip lead back in the previous hand.

Jens Lakemeier: {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Marcus Farthing: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Lakemeier had flopped the open-ended straight draw while Farthing had picked up the gutshot to a straight.

The turn was the {q-Spades} for Farthing to improve to an open-ended straight draw too and got there when the {8-Spades} came on the river to win the tournament outright without a deal for $65,609.
