Niall Farrell Eliminated in 7th Place ($57,620)
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Valentino Konakchiev raised 330,000 in late position and action folded to WSOP bracelet winner Niall Farrell, who was in the big blind and short stacked with less than 1,000,000 in front of him.
Farrell re-raised to 500,000, prompting Konakchiev, who had Farrell covered, to re-raise all in. Farrell called to put himself at risk.
Niall Farrell: A♣2♣
Valentino Konakchiev: K♠J♠
The dealer fanned Q♥10♥10♦. Farrell remained ahead with his ace, but the board gave Konakchiev an open-ended straight draw. The 4♥ appeared on the turn, and then 9♣ on the river gave Konakchiev a straight to send Farrell out in seventh place for $57,620.
