Alexander Farahi opened the action with a raise to 30,000 from under the gun, and was called by Hattori Lopez on the button. Once it folded Colleen Long in the big blind, she three-bet all in for 275,000. Farahi then four-bet all in for his stack of 350,000, which made Lopez get out of the way to leave the players heads up, with Long at risk.

Colleen Long: QQ All in
Alexander Farahi: AK

Long was at risk but ahead for the moment with her pocket queens. The 525 changed nothing, but when the A hit on the turn, it put Farahi in front, leaving Long with just two outs and just one card to come. The river was the 3 which meant the pair of aces for Farahi were good, to take the pot and eliminate Long.
