Action at Table 30
The turn was the . Farkye cut seven orange (5,000) chips off of his stack and threw them over the betting line. His opponent had 75,000 in his stack; a call would require almost half of that. He did call after roughly a minute.
Farkye didn't waste a moment when the river fell ; he moved in for roughly 140,000 and took down the pot when his opponent pitched his cards into the muck. That hand moved Farkye to approximately 260,000 in chips.
"Wow," marveled Hellmuth. "That's how you got all those chips. Wow."
Shortly thereafter Hellmuth was all in preflop for 2,900 against David Chiu. Hellmuth's suited was slightly ahead of Chiu's . Both players missed a board that ran out , allowing Hellmuth to double up to roughly 7,100.
"That was a good flop for me," said Hellmuth.
"No kidding," Chiu agreed. "Never say I don't give you action."
"I didn't want it."
