Level 26

Min Ji raised to 100,000, Marian Ionut Farcas called for his remaining 100,000, Teodor Evstratiev called on the button, and John Farrell called in the big blind.
The flop came 5♥K♥8♥ and all three players still in the pot checked back. The turn came the 8♣. Action checked to Evstratiev, who made it 150,000 to go. The rest of the table folded, leaving Evstratiev and Farcas to reveal their hands.
Farcas showed 7♥5♦ for a pair of fives. Evstratiev showed A♠J♥ for ace high. The river came the Q♣. Farcas held to win the pot.
